Allow / Prohibit Matrix configuration

16

The Allow / Prohibit Matrix Configuration dialog box displays all ports and port names on
the selected switch (similar to the dialog box shown in

Figure 45

). The Block column,

Prohibit column, and prohibited ports matrix are displayed as empty, for you to configure.

To edit an existing configuration, click the configuration, and then click Edit.

The Allow / Prohibit Matrix Configuration dialog box displays the content of the selected
configuration from the switch in a table format (

Figure 45

).

3. Optional: Select the check box corresponding to a port you want to block on the Block column.

Repeat this step for all ports you want to block. Select the Block All check box to block all ports.

4. Optional: Select the check box corresponding to a port you want to prohibit on the Prohibit

column. Repeat this step for all ports you want to prohibit. Select the Prohibit All check box to
prohibit all ports.

The cells in the matrix are updated with crossed-circle icons to identify prohibited ports.

FE and FF ports are not shown in the Allow / Prohibit Matrix dialog. The FE and FF Ports state
displays only in the Port Admin page.

5. Optional: Click the individual cells corresponding to the combination of ports you want to

prohibit. You cannot prohibit a port to itself.

If you prohibit E_Port, E-E connection, or E-F connection, a warning message is displayed, “You
have placed a prohibit on an E-Port. This has no effect for Fabric OS based fabrics”.

6. Review your changes. A blue background in a cell indicates that its value has been modified.

7. After you have finished making changes, do any of the following:

Click Activate to save the changes and make the configuration active immediately, as
described in

“Activating an Allow / Prohibit Matrix configuration”

on page 209.

Click Save to save the changes but not make the configuration active.

Click Save As to save the configuration to a new configuration file. When you click Save As,
a dialog box displays in which you should enter a file name and description for the
configuration file.

Click Refresh to refresh the information from the switch.

Click Cancel to cancel all changes without saving.
