F12 Cancel F13 Instruct F22 Command x J Figure 3 7 Mark ISL ports as occupied in HCD 3 5 Binding and Insistent Domain ID Insistent Domain IDs prohibit the use of dynamic Domain IDs to ensure predictable Domain IDs are enforced within the fabric For example if a switch has this feature enabled anda new switch is connected to it via an ISL without the preferred Domain ID then the new switch is segmented into a separate fabric and user data will not flow Binding is a method used in the switch to prevent devices and or other switches from attaching to the switch based on WWNs that are defined to a membership list The McDATA FICON Director supports three levels of binding Port binding This limits the N_Port that can be attached to an F_Port on the FICON Director by WWN Port binding requires a Bound WWN which is the device s N_Port WWN WWPN that connects to a particular F_Port on the FICON Director 28 Getting Started with the McDATA Intrepid FICON Director Attaching an unauthorized N_Port to the FICON Director puts the F_Port into an Invalid Attachment state and renders the port unusable until the assigned N_Port is attached Since an N_Port is mapped directly to an F_Port within the FICON Director there are some flexibility limitations with port binding For example port swapping within a FICON Director requires modifying the Bound WWN See 5 5 3 Configuring a port on page 61 for an example Switc
