To specify a WWN or nickname that can then be bound to a port,
right-click the port in the Hardware view; then click Port Binding on
the pop-up menu.
This displays the Bind WWN dialog box (Figure 5-8).
Figure 5-8 Bind WWN Dialog Box
Configure the parameters as follows, then click Activate:
◆ Port Binding — Click to add or remove a checkmark. If the box is
checked, port binding is enabled for the port. (You can also enable
or disable binding through the Configure Ports dialog box.)
If port binding is enabled, only the device whose WWN or
nickname is entered in the WWN field can attach to the port. (If
the WWN field does not contain a valid WWN or nickname, no
device can attachh to the port.) If port binding is disabled (the box
is not checked), any device can attach to the port, even if a WWN
or nickname is specified in the WWN field.
◆ Attached WWN — This is the device currently logged in to the
switch port. If this item is selected and port binding is enabled,
this device has exclusive use of the port.
