Configuring Switch Binding
Using switch binding, you can specify which devices and switches
can attach to the switch ports. This provides security in environments
that include a large number of devices, by ensuring that only the
intended set of devices attach to the switch.
Configuring switch binding involves these operations:
◆
Activating switch binding.
◆
Determining the port types (E_Ports and/or F_Ports) to which
you want to restrict access. In a separate operation (described in
the next list item), you select which specific ports within the
selected port type(s) will be restricted.
◆
Create/modify a Switch Membership List to specify which
connected devices will be allowed/denied access to the switch.
