# Class CIM_StorageBridgeNameBinding
extends CIM_StorageNameBinding

StorageBridgeBinding represents a binding between two transport-specific initiator port names. One name is associated with the initiator port in the format appropriate for the port type. The other name is an administratively assigned name with a format appropriate for transport on the target side of the bridge. This virtual initiator port name is used by the bridge when it communicates with targets from the bound initiator. This virtual name is needed for target device management functions that use initiator port names, such as LUN masking and mapping. For example, an Infiniband/FibreChannel bridge support Infiniband initiator ports and allows the administrator to assign a Fibre Channel Port WWN (AssignedPortName) to each Infiniband initiator (InitiatorPortName). The TargetName property from the superclass may be used to restrict this binding to a specific target. If TargetPort is left null, the binding affects all targets seen by the bridge.
