In order for Fabric Binding to function, specific operating parameters
and optional features must be enabled. Also, there are specific
requirements for disabling these parameters and features when the
director or switch is offline or online. Be aware of the following:
• Because switches are bound to a fabric by WWN and domain ID,
the Insistent Domain ID function is automatically enabled if
Fabric Binding is enabled. You cannot disable Insistent Domain
ID while Fabric Binding is active and the switch is online. (For
information about configuring the domain ID of the product, see
Configuring Switch Parameters
• If Fabric Binding is enabled and the switch is online, you cannot
disable Insistent Domain ID.
• If Fabric Binding is enabled and the director or switch is offline,
you can disable Insistent Domain ID, but this will disable Fabric
Binding.
• You cannot disable Fabric Binding if Enterprise Fabric Mode is
enabled. However, if Enterprise Fabric Mode is disabled, Fabric
Binding can be enabled or disabled.
