Port-based address binding
This section provides an example that will allow all ports on all blades installed in a Brocade DCX
Backbone to use port-based (Mode 2) addresses. The following figure illustrates ports with port-based
addressing.
FIGURE 27 Port-based 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.
Example scripts for binding ports
The following example scripts bind all ports on the DCX Backbone to port-based (Mode 2) addresses.
You can copy and paste these scripts directly into a Telnet Fabric OS command line session. If a port
does not exist, an error message will be reported, but this has no effect.
