Fabric Binding Issues
Configuring Fabric Binding Using the CLI
To configure fabric binding using the CLI, follow these steps:
Step 1
Use the
fabric-binding enable
command to enable fabric binding.
switch(config)#
fabric-binding enable
Step 2
Use the
fabric-binding database
command to add new entries into the configure database.
switch(config)#
fabric-binding
database vsan 3
switch(config-port-security)#
swwn 20:00:00:0c:85:90:3e:80
Step 3
Use the
fabric-binding activate
command to activate fabric binding.
switch(config)#
fabric-binding activate vsan 2
Step 4
Use the
fabric-binding database copy
command to copy the active database to the configure database.
switch#
fabric-binding database copy vsan 2
Step 5
Copy the running configuration to the startup configuration, using the fabric option. This saves the fabric
binding configure database to the startup configuration on all switches in the fabric.
