About Fabric Binding Initiation
The fabric binding feature must be enabled in each switch in the fabric that participates in the fabric binding. By default, this feature is disabled in all switches in the Cisco MDS 9000 Family. The configuration and verification commands for the fabric binding feature are only available when fabric binding is enabled on a switch. When you disable this configuration, all related configurations are automatically discarded.
To configure fabric binding in each switch in the fabric, follow these steps:
- Enable the fabric configuration feature.
- Configure a list of sWWNs and their corresponding domain IDs for devices that are allowed to access the fabric.
- Activate the fabric binding database.
- Copy the fabric binding active database to the fabric binding config database.
- Save the fabric binding configuration.
- Verify the fabric binding configuration.
