• WWN Binding
Placing a check mark in the check boxes of this column enables the binding state of
the port.
• Bound WWN
Enter the WWN or nickname of the device that is attached to the port.
If the check box in the WWN Binding column is checked and a WWN is entered in the
Bound WWN field, only the specified device can attach to the port.
If the check box in the WWN Binding column is checked but no WWN is entered in the
Bound WWN field, no device can connect to the port.
If the check box in the WWN Binding column is not checked, any device can connect to
the port (provided that the port type matches and the check box in the Blocked column
is not checked). Any WWN or nickname entered in the Bound WWN field is, however,
stored.
If you click Activate when the check box in the WWN Binding column is checked and
the WWN or nickname in the WWN Binding column does not match the device actually
connected to the port, the Warning! dialog box displays. If you click Continue button is
clicked, the currently attached devices are logged off.
Warning and Error Messages
If you click Activate when any node attached to a port does not match the WWN or
nickname in that port’s Bound WWN column, a Warning! dialog box displays. If you click
Continue, all nodes listed will be logged off, and the ports will attach to the respective
devices identified in the Bound WWN column.
