5.5 Port configuration
This section describes how to configure ports, port names, port binding, port type, port
speed, blocked or unblocked, state and enable, or disable long-distance buffering.
5.5.1 Defining Nicknames
Each port is initially identified by a WWN, which is an 8-byte hexadecimal number. Assigning
a meaningful Nickname to a port or node makes it easier to identify a device when it is
connected to the port:
1. In the EFC Manager window double-click the icon of the
Director where you want to
configure the ports.
2. A new window opens displaying the Hardware view of the Director. Click the
Node List
tab. A list of all connected devices is displayed as shown in Figure 5-16. The WWN and
the Unit Type are automatically retrieved from the device connected to the port.
Note: Switch Binding cannot be disabled while Enterprise Fabric Mode is active and the
Director is online.
