Adding Authorized Port Pairs

After identifying the WWN pairs that need to be bound, add those pairs to the port security database.
Tip Remote switch binding can be specified at the local switch. To specify the remote interfaces, you can
use either the fWWN or sWWN-interface combination.
To add authorized port pairs for port security using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:
Expand a VSAN and select Port Security in the Logical Domains pane.
Step 1
Click the Config Database tab.
Step 2
Click Create Row to add an authorized port pair.
Step 3
You see the Create Port Security dialog box shown in
Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager Configuration Guide

Identify switch ports by the interface or by the fWWN.
Identify devices by the pWWN or by the nWWN.
If an Nx port is allowed to log in to SAN switch port Fx, then that Nx port can only log in through
the specified Fx port..
If an Nx port's nWWN is bound to an Fx port WWN, then all pWWNs in the Nx port are implicitly
paired with the Fx port.
TE port checking is done on each VSAN in the allowed VSAN list of the trunk port.
All PortChannel xE ports must be configured with the same set of WWNs in the same PortChannel.
E port security is implemented in the port VSAN of the E port. In this case the sWWN is used to
secure authorization checks.
Once activated, the config database can be modified without any effect on the active database.
By saving the running configuration, you save the configuration database and activated entries in the
active database. Learned entries in the active database are not saved.
