Reset Port

Click to display a confirmation dialog box. Click Yes on the dialog box to reset the port. If a
switch is attached to the port and online, this operation sends a link reset to the attached
switch; otherwise, this action disables port beaconing for the port. If the port is in a failed
state, such as after failing a loopback test, the reset restores the port to an operational
state, clearing the service required (amber) LED. The reset does not affect other ports in
the director.

WWN Binding

Click to display the Bind WWN dialog box Figure 27. Use this dialog box to allow a device
with a specific WWN or nickname to have exclusive communication privileges over a port.
To use this dialog box, refer to the following paragraphs.

WWN Binding: Click to place check mark in the box and enable WWN binding for the
port. When enabled, only a specific device can communicate through the port.This
device is specified by the WWN or nickname entered into the Bound WWN field (either
the Attached WWN or WWN options). With the check box cleared, any device can
communicate through the port even if a WWN or nickname is specified in the Bound
WWN field.
