Monitoring and Managing the Switch

Reset Port

Click to display a confirmation dialog box. Click Yes on that dialog box to reset the
port. If a switch is attached to the port and online, this operation sends a link reset to
the attached switch, otherwise this action disables port beaconing for the port. If the
port is in a failed state, such as after failing a loopback test, the reset restores the port
to an operational state, clearing the service required (amber) LED. The reset does not
affect other ports in the switch.

Port Binding

Click to display the Port Binding dialog box
allow a device with a specific WWN or nickname to have exclusive connection to a
port. To use this dialog box, refer to the following paragraphs.

Port Binding dialog box parameters:
• Port Binding: Click this check box to place check mark in the box and enable
WWN binding for the port. When enabled, only a specific device can community
through the port. This device is specified by the WWN or nickname entered into
the Bound WWN area (either the Attached WWN or WWN fields). With the
check box cleared, any device can communicate through the port even if a WWN
or nickname is specified in the Bound WWN field.
• Attached WWN: Click the radio button and, if a device is logged into the port,
the device's WWN will display in the field. The device with this WWN or
nickname will have exclusive communication privileges through the port if Port
Binding is enabled.
NOTE: If you click this radio button to bind the port to a logged-in device and there are no
devices logged in, the port is essentially bound to a WWN of "0." This prevents any device from
logging in until this button is re-enabled to bind the WWN of a logged-in device or until you
explicitly bind the WWN of a device by clicking the Detached WWN radio button and entering a
WWN or nickname (see the following). Changes only take effect when you click the Activate
button.
