Chapter 4 Managing Fabric Security 81
Port Security
Port binding ties a specific device WWN to a physical port number. The Port
Binding dialog allows you to enable/disable port binding for the port, and will
allow the user to add WWNs to the list of WWNs bound to the port. The dialog will
display the values that are read from the port binding data received from the switch
for the selected port.
To open the Port Binding dialog (
FIGURE 4-1) select a single port on the faceplate
display, open the Port menu, and select Port Binding to bind up to 32 WWNs to a
port. The WWN drop-down field drop-down is pre-populated with WWNs
currently attached to the port. Click the Add button to add the WWN listed in the
field to the WWN list pane. The WWN List pane displays the WWNs that are
currently bound or will be bound to the port with the selection of the OK button. To
remove WNNs currently bound to a port, select the WWNs in the WWN List pane,
click the Remove button, and click the OK button to apply the changes to the switch.
Note – If you enable the Port Binding option with no WWN entries in the list, the
port becomes isolated.
