1. At the Configure panel, click the Switch Binding tab. The Security
page displays with the Switch Binding tab selected (Figure 2-17 on

membership list to restrict devices that can attach to the switch
through E_Ports.

membership list to restrict devices that can attach to the switch
through F_Ports.
• Enable & Restrict All Ports - Uses the switch binding
membership list to restrict devices that can attach to the switch
through any port.
• Disable Switch Binding - Sets the switch binding state to
disabled and removes restrictions on devices that can attach to
the switch.
