Configuring Fibre Channel Port Binding

Port binding is a Fibre Channel security method that enables you to restrict which initiator WWPNs are allowed to connect through a Fibre Channel port. It is similar to iSCSI target authorization.

Tip:

By default, port binding is disabled on all Fibre Channel ports.

  1. Go to iSCSI & Fibre Channel > Fibre Channel > FC Ports.
  2. Select a Fibre Channel port.
  3. Click Action, and then select Edit Port Binding.

    The Fibre Channel Port Binding window opens.

  4. Add one or more initiator WWPNs to the LUN's authorized initiators list.
