the values on the Switch.

selected port. This allows only a specific device to attach to the port. This device is specified
by the WWN or nickname entered into the Bound WWN column. With the check box

Bound WWN column.
or
Enter a world wide name (WWN) in the Bound WWN field in the proper format
(xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) or a nickname configured through the Element Manager
application. The device with this WWN or nickname will have exclusive attachment to the
port if Port Binding is enabled. If a valid WWN or nickname is not entered in this field, but
the Port Binding check box is checked (enabled), then no devices can connect to the port. If
you enter a WWN or nickname in this field and do not place a check in the Port Binding
check box, the WWN or nickname will be stored, and all devices can connect to the port.
