Either choose the Attached WWN option to bind to the attached device listed, or choose Detached WWN to enter the WWN or nickname of the device to bind. Figure 24: Port Binding dialog box Port Binding dialog box parameters: ■ Port Binding-Click this check box to place a 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 Detached 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. ■ Attached WWN-If a device is logged into the port, click this option and the device's WWN displays in the field. The device with this WWN or nickname has exclusive communication privileges to the port if Port Binding is enabled. Note: If you click this radio button to bind the port to a logged-in device and there are no devices logged in, the port is essentially bound to a WWN of "0." This prevents any device from logging in until this button is re-enabled to bind the WWN of a logged-in device or until you explicitly bind the WWN of a device, and when you click the Detached WWN option and enter a WWN or nickname (see the WWN next). Changes only take effect when you click the Activate button. 92 Director Product Manager User Guide

Click to display the
Port Binding
dialog box. Click the
Port Binding
check box
to enable port binding. Either choose the
Attached WWN
option to bind to the

to enter the WWN or nickname
of the device to bind.
Figure 24:

Port Binding
dialog box parameters:
Port Binding
—Click this check box to place a 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
Detached 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.
Attached WWN
—If a device is logged into the port, click this option and the
device's WWN displays in the field. The device with this WWN or nickname
has exclusive communication privileges to the port if
Port Binding
is
enabled.
Note:
If you click this radio button to bind the port to a logged-in device and there
are no devices logged in, the port is essentially bound to a WWN of “0.” This
prevents any device from logging in until this button is re-enabled to bind the
WWN of a logged-in device or until you explicitly bind the WWN of a device,
and when you click the Detached WWN option and enter a WWN or nickname
(see the WWN next). Changes only take effect when you click the Activate button.
