Switch binding
IMPORTANT: Switch binding is available only with the McDATA SANtegrity Enhanced PFE key. See
”Managing switch feature upgrades” on page 44 for more information about installing a PFE key. To
obtain the McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch serial number and PFE key, follow the step-by-step instructions on the
firmware feature entitlement request certificate for the PFE key. You can obtain a PFE key from the web at:
www.webkey.external.hp.com
.
Switch binding establishes up to 256 switches or devices that are permitted to log in to a particular switch.
Switches or devices that are not among the 256 permitted switches are refused access to the switch.
Furthermore, you can specify whether to enforce the list for all switches and devices (Allports), devices
only (FPorts), or switches only (EPorts). You apply switch binding by modifying the switch
configuration as described in ”Modify a switch configuration” on page 35. Enter the
Show Config Security Switchbinding command to display the switch binding configuration as
shown in the following example:
