Notes
• When the Switch Binding feature is first installed and has not
been enabled, the Switch Membership List is empty. When you
enable Switch Binding, the Membership List is populated with
WWNs of devices, switches, or both that are currently connected
to the switch.
• If the switch is offline and you activate switch binding, the
Membership List is not automatically populated.
• Edits to the Switch Binding Membership list will be maintained
when you enable or disable Switch Binding.
After enabling Switch Binding, you prohibit devices and/or switches

You allow connections by adding them to the Membership List. You
can also add detached nodes and switches as well.
