75 Edge Switch Element Manager User Guide
■ Detached WWN—Click this button and enter a WWN in the proper format
(
xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx ) or a nickname configured through the
Product or HAFM. The device with this WWN or nickname will have
exclusive communication privileges through the port if Port Binding is
enabled.
Note the following:
— If you do not enter a valid WWN or nickname in this field, but the Port
Binding check box is checked (enabled), then no devices can
communicate over the port.
— If you enter a WWN or nickname in this field and do not place a check in
the Port Binding check box, the WWN or nickname will be stored, and
all devices can communicate over the port.
— Activate—Click this button to activate settings in this dialog box.
Warning and error messages display under the following circumstances:
— If one or more of the nodes logged into a port does not match the WWN
or nickname configured in the field by the WWN option button, a
warning dialog box displays after you activate the configuration. This
warning box displays a list of all nodes that will be logged off if you
continue. If you click Continue on the warning box, these nodes will be
logged off and the port will only attach to the device with the WWN or
nickname configured in the
WWN field.
— An error message displays after you activate the configuration if the
format for the WWN entered in the WWN field is not valid (not in
xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx format) or if you have entered a
nickname that was not configured through the Element Manager.
■ Clear Threshold Alert(s)—Click this option to display the Clear Threshold
Alert(s) dialog box. Click the appropriate option to clear alerts for the selected
port only or for all ports on the switch. This clears all attention indicators that
notify users of threshold alerts in dialog boxes and views. This action also
restarts the notification interval and the cumulative minutes for utilization %
interval.
