Sequential address binding
This section provides an example that will allow all ports on all blades installed in a Brocade DCX
Backbone to use sequential, zero-based, Mode 1 addresses. The following figure illustrates ports with
sequential addresses.
FIGURE 26 Sequential addresses
Before binding an address with the portAddress --bind command, disable the port with the
portDisable command. To change the bound address, you must first unbind the addresses. Refer to
Unbinding multiple ports on page 116 for an easy method to unbind multiple ports at once.
For more information on port addressing modes, refer to Addressing modes on page 44.
