Address Binding Examples
This appendix provides examples for the following:
• “Sequential address binding”
• “Zero-Based to Port-Based Address Binding”
• “Unbinding Multiple Ports”
Example scripts containing the portaddress --bind and portaddress --unbind commands are
included for binding or unbinding ports on all blades installed in a chassis.
Sequential address binding
This section provides an example of ensuring that all ports on blades installed in a Brocade DCX
Backbone that are set with zero-based addressing are bound to sequential addresses as illustrated
in Figure 20.
FIGURE 20 Sequential address binding
Before binding addresses to a port with the portaddress --bind command, disable ports with the
portdisable command. If addresses are already bound and you are trying to change the bound
address, you must first unbind the addresses. Refer to “Unbinding Multiple Ports” on page 100 for
an easy method to unbind multiple ports at once.
