See ” This feature is managed through the Switch Binding submenu options available on the
Element Manager Configure menu. Using Switch Binding, you can specify devices and switches
that can attach to director and switch ports. This provides security in environments that include a
large number of devices by ensuring that only the intended set of devices attach to a switch or
director. ” on page 160 for information on how the Switch Membership List is populated with

2. If nicknames are configured for WWNs through HAFM and you want these to display instead
of WWNs in this dialog box, click Display Options. The Display Options dialog box appears.

4. To prohibit connection to a switch port from a WWN currently in the Membership List, click the
WWN or nickname in the Membership List, then click Remove. The WWN or nickname will
move to the Node List panel. WWNs can only be removed from the fabric if any of the

• The switch is offline.
• Switch Binding is disabled.
• The switch or device with the WWN is not connected to the switch.
• Switch Binding is not enabled for the same port type as enabled for the Connection Policy in
the Switch Binding State Change dialog box. For example, a WWN for a switch attached
to an E_Port can be removed if the Switch Binding Connection Policy was enabled to
Restrict F_Ports.
• The switch or device with the WWN is connected to a port that is blocked.
• The switch or device with the WWN is not currently connected to the switch (detached
node).
