Configuring the Switch
122 Edge Switch Element Manager User Guide
4. To bind a device with a specific WWN or nickname to the port, click the Port
Binding check box to display a check mark. Then enter the WWN or
configured nickname for the device into the Bound WWN column. The
device that you bind to the port will have exclusive connection to that port.
Note: If you have configured Port Binding and click Activate, a warning dialog box
displays if one or more of the nodes attached to a port does not match the WWN or
nickname configured in the Bound WWN column. This warning box displays a list of
all attached nodes that will be logged off if you continue. If you click Continue, these
nodes will log off and the port will only attach to the device with the WWN or
nickname configured in the Bound WWN column.
If you have configured Port Binding and click Activate, an error message may display if
the format for the WWN entered in the Bound WWN column is not valid (not in
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx format) or if you enter a nickname that has not been
configured through the Element Manager.
5. To set the data speed for the port, click the Speed column for a specific port,
and click 2 Gb/sec, 1 Gb/sec, or Negotiate (2 Gb/sec switch) or 1 Gb/sec
only (1 Gb/sec switch). Clicking Negotiate allows the port and attached
device to negotiate the data rate.
6. Use the scroll bar on the right side of the Configure Ports dialog box table to
display additional ports that you want to configure.
7. Activate changes and close the dialog box by clicking Activate.
8. If you are finished configuring the switch, back up the configuration data. For
more information, see “ Backup and Restore Configuration ” on page 168.
