Note:
no devices logged in, the port is essentially bound to a WWN of
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
Edge Switch 2/24 Product Manager User Guide
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
communicate 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.
If you click this radio button to bind the port to a logged-in device and there are
Detached WWN: Click the radio button and enter a worldwide name (WWN)
in the proper format (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) or a nickname configured
through the Product or HAFM applications. The device with this WWN or
nickname will have exclusive communication privileges through the port if
Port Binding is enabled.
Note the following:
— If you do not enter valid WWN or nickname in this field, but the Port
Binding check box is checked (enabled), then no devices can
communicate through 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 communicate through the port.
