McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
Installation Tasks
• If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled and the switch is offline you
can disable Switch Binding, but Enterprise Fabric Mode will also
disable.
• WWNs can be added to the Switch Membership List when Switch
Binding is enabled or disabled.
• WWNs can only be removed from the Switch Membership List if
any of the following are true:
— The switch is offline.
— Switch Binding is disabled.
— The switch or device with the WWN is not connected to the
switch.
— Switch Binding is not enabled for the same port type as
enabled for the Connection Policy in the Switch Binding State
Change dialog box. For example, a WWN for a switch attached
to an E_Port can be removed if Switch Binding Connection
Policy was enabled to Restrict F_Ports.
— The switch or device with the WWN is connected to a port that
is blocked.
— The switch or device with the WWN is not currently
connected to the switch (detached node).
• If the switch is online and Switch Binding is not enabled, all
nodes and switches attached to the switch are automatically
added to the Switch Membership List.
Zoning with Switch Binding Enabled
Note that SANtegrity Binding has no effect on existing zoning
configurations. However, note that if a device WWN is in a specific
zone, but the WWN is not in the Switch Membership List, the device
cannot log in to the switch port and cannot connect to other devices
in the zone with Switch Binding enabled.
Flexport
Sphereon 3232Switches can be purchased at a discount without all
Fibre Channel ports enabled. The optional Flexport feature is a
hardware port expansion kit that allows customers to upgrade switch
capacity on demand in eight-port increments. Flexport kits are
