To configure a list of sWWNs and optional domain IDs for a Fibre Channel VSAN, follow these steps:
Fabric Binding Activation
The fabric binding feature maintains a configuration database (config-database) and an active database.
The config-database is a read-write database that collects the configurations you perform. These
configurations are only enforced upon activation. This activation overwrites the active database with the
contents of the config- database. The active database is read-only and is the database that checks each
switch that attempts to log in.
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# fabric-binding database vsan 5
switch(config-fabric-binding)#
Enters the fabric binding submode for the
specified VSAN.
switch(config)# no fabric-binding database vsan
5
Deletes the fabric binding database for the
specified VSAN.
Step 3
switch(config-fabric-binding)# swwn
21:00:05:30:23:11:11:11 domain 102
Adds the sWWN and domain ID of a switch
to the configured database list.
switch(config-fabric-binding)# swwn
21:00:05:30:23:1a:11:03 domain 101
Adds the sWWN and domain ID of another
switch to the configured database list.
switch(config-fabric-binding)# no swwn
21:00:15:30:23:1a:11:03 domain 101
Deletes the sWWN and domain ID of a
switch from the configured database list.
Step 4
switch(config-fabric-binding)# exit
switch(config)#
Exits the fabric binding submode.
Command Purpose
Step 1
switch# config t
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# fabric-binding database vsan 10
switch(config-fabric-binding)#
Enters the fabric binding submode for the
specified VSAN.
switch(config)# no fabric-binding database vsan
10
Deletes the fabric binding database for the
specified VSAN.
Step 3
switch(config-fabric-binding)# swwn
21:00:05:30:23:11:11:11
Adds the sWWN of a switch for all domains
to the configured database list.
switch(config-fabric-binding)# no swwn
21:00:05:30:23:11:11:11
Deletes the sWWN of a switch for all
domains from the configured database list.
switch(config-fabric-binding)# swwn
21:00:05:30:23:1a:11:03 domain 101
Adds the sWWN of another switch for a
specific domain ID to the configured
database list.
switch(config-fabric-binding)# no swwn
21:00:15:30:23:1a:11:03 domain 101
Deletes the sWWN and domain ID of a
switch from the configured database list.
Step 4
switch(config-fabric-binding)# exit
switch(config)#
Exits the fabric binding submode.
