Installation Tasks

Configuring the

Switch Binding

Membership List

The SBML contains the WWNs of devices that are allowed to

communicate with the switch when Switch Binding is enabled. This

list is configured using the Switch Binding tab.

The contents of the SBML are shown at the bottom of the tab, listed

by WWN. The tab can show up to 64 list members. If the list contains

more than 64 members, the other list members are shown on

subsequent pages. To see the next page of list members, click the

Display More Members option. To see the previous page of list

members, click the Display Previous Members option. The message All

Members Displayed appears on the last page of entries.

Adding a List Member To add a new member to the SBML, perform the following procedure:

1. Select Configure from the navigation panel.

2. Select the Security tab and the Switch Binding tab.

3. Add the node to the list in one of the following ways:

• Select an attached node from the Attached Node WWN drop

down list.

•If you select Detached Node WWN, type the WWN of a

detached node. The WWN must be entered as hex digits, all

uppercase, and with no colon seperator between digits.

4. Select the Add the following member by button next to the node that

you wish to add. The tab view refreshes and the node is now

listed in the SBML at the bottom of the screen.

5. If a duplicate member is submitted for the membership list, an

error message is displayed that an invalid membership list has

been submitted.

Deleting a List

Member

WWNs can only be removed from the SBML if any of the following

are true:

• The director or switch is offline.

• Switch Binding is disabled.

• The switch or device with the WWN is not currently connected to

the director or switch (detached node).

• Switch Binding is not enabled for the same port type as enabled

for the connection policy. For example, a WWN for a switch

attached to an E_Port can be removed if the Switch Binding

connection policy is set to Enabled & Restrict F_Ports.
