Authentication of VEX_Port-to-VEX_Port connections
Connecting VEX_Ports to each other is not relevant for authentication, because both ports will
always operate in Passive mode. Because ports in Passive mode do not initiate authentication,
VEX_Ports cannot have an authenticated connection between them.

FCR SANtegrity
FC-FC Routing (FCR) SANtegrity is supported for Fabric Binding when EX_Ports are attached to a
McDATA edge switch. Fabric Binding lets you configure a Fabric Binding Membership list that each
switch in a fabric can use to validate between it and its neighbor. McDATA SANtegrity Fabric Binding
uses a list made up of domain ID and WWN pairs and implies the use of Insistent Domain IDs.
When Fabric Binding is enabled, a Fabric Binding check is performed each time a link is enabled to
ensure that the switches can connect. If the binding check fails, the McDATA port goes to an invalid
attachment state and the EX_Port disables itself.

NOTE
After a Fabric Binding check failure between a McDATA E_Port and an EX_Port, the current M-EOS
implementation requires you to disable the M-EOS port and then re-enable it before the link can
come up again. Enabling just the EX_Port does not always allow the link to come up again.
