Configuring Fabric Binding
Step 2
Step 3
Copying Fabric Binding Configurations
When you copy the fabric binding configuration, the config database is saved to the running configuration.
You can use the following commands to copy to the config database:
• Use the fabric-binding database copy vsan command to copy from the active database to the config
database. If the configured database is empty, this command is not accepted.
switch# fabric-binding database copy vsan 1
• Use the fabric-binding database diff active vsan command to view the differences between the active
database and the config database. This command can be used when resolving conflicts.
switch# fabric-binding database diff active vsan 1
• Use the fabric-binding database diff config vsan command to obtain information on the differences
between the config database and the active database.
switch# fabric-binding database diff config vsan 1
• Use the copy running-config startup-config command to save the running configuration to the startup
configuration so that the fabric binding config database is available after a reboot.
switch# copy running-config startup-config
Clearing the Fabric Binding Statistics
Use the clear fabric-binding statistics command to clear all existing statistics from the fabric binding database
for a specified VSAN:
switch# clear fabric-binding statistics vsan 1
Deleting the Fabric Binding Database
Use the no fabric-binding command in configuration mode to delete the configured database for a specified
VSAN:
switch(config)# no fabric-binding database vsan 10
