Configuring Switch WWN List for a FICON VSAN
Configuring Switch WWN List for a FICON VSAN
A user-specified fabric binding list contains a list of switch WWNs (sWWNs) within a fabric. If an sWWN
attempts to join the fabric, and that sWWN is not on the list or the sWWN is using a domain ID that differs
from the one specified in the allowed list, the ISL between the switch and the fabric is automatically isolated
in that VSAN and the switch is denied entry into the fabric.
The persistent domain ID can be specified along with the sWWN. Domain ID authorization is required in
FICON VSANs where the domains are statically configured and the end devices reject a domain ID change
in all switches in the fabric. Domain ID authorization is not required in Fibre Channel VSANs.
To configure a list of sWWNs and domain IDs for a FICON VSAN, follow these steps:
Procedure
Step 1 switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
switch(config)# fabric-binding database vsan 5
switch(config-fabric-binding)#
Enters the fabric binding submode for the specified VSAN.
Step 3 switch(config)# no fabric-binding database vsan 5
(Optional) Deletes the fabric binding database for the specified VSAN.
Step 4
switch(config-fabric-binding)# swwn 21:00:05:30:23:11:11:11 domain 102
Adds the sWWN and domain ID of a switch to the configured database list.
Step 5 switch(config-fabric-binding)# swwn 21:00:05:30:23:1a:11:03 domain 101
Adds the sWWN and domain ID of another switch to the configured database list.
Step 6
switch(config-fabric-binding)# no swwn 21:00:15:30:23:1a:11:03 domain 101
(Optional) Deletes the sWWN and domain ID of a switch from the configured database list.
Step 7 switch(config-fabric-binding)# exit
switch(config)#
Exits the fabric binding submode.
