• You cannot disable Switch Binding if Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled.
• If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled and the Director or Edge Switch is online,
you cannot disable Switch Binding. However, if Enterprise Fabric Mode is
disabled, you can disable Fabric Binding, Switch Binding, or both.
• If Enterprise Fabric Mode is enabled and the Director or Edge 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

Binding Connection Policy was enabled to Restrict F_Ports.
— The switch or device with the WWN is connected to a port that is blocked.
