In general, an address binding is an association between a service (e.g., SSH) and an IP address. A host may have multiple IP addresses (e.g., 127.0. 0.1, 192.168. 1.2). Address binding allows you to run a service on some or all of these addresses.

Locate the MySQL bind-address line in the my.cnf file. It should look like the following: bind-address = 127.0.0.1. If the MySQL bind-address line is set to 0.0. 0.0 (or no address at all), then connections are open on all interfaces. If you made any changes to the /etc/my.
Keeping this in view, what is IP binding?
When you run a server on a machine it listens for incoming client connections. Administrators can selectively pick which IP addresses a server process listens on. This selective picking is called binding. For example, if you just bind to the loop-back, clients running on the same machine can connect to the server.
