Configuring Ports
5-17
Configuring the Switch
If no device is logged in, no WWN appears on the Attached
WWN line. If the user then enables port binding, the port will be
bound to a WWN of 0, essentially preventing any device from
logging in until binding is disabled,or the bound WWN is
updated to a new WWN setting.
◆ WWN — This entry allows you to enter a WWN (in the format
xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) or nickname of a device that will be
bound to the port. If port binding is enabled, this device has
exclusive use of the port, even if another device is logged in. (If
binding is not enabled, this WWN/nickname will be stored.)
If port binding is enabled and no attached node matches the
WWN/nickname in the WWN field, a warning (Figure 5-7 on
page 5-12) appears. If you click Continue at that warning, any
node that is logged in will be logged out. If the device identified
in the WWN field logs in, it will become bound to the port and
will be able to communicate.
