Configuration Planning Tasks 6 • Determine which (if any) management workstations can have write permission for SNMP variables. • Obtain product-specific trap information from McDATA to load onto SNMP management workstations. Task 8: Plan E-Mail Notification (Optional) As an option, network administrators can configure director and fabric switch e-mail support. The following support considerations are required if the e-mail notification feature is used: • Determine if e-mail notification is to be configured and used for significant system events. • Determine which persons (up to five) require e-mail notification of significant director or switch events and record their e-mail addresses. • Identify an attached e-mail server that supports the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) standard as defined in RFC 821. NOTE: E-mail notification for SAN routers is not supported. Task 9: Establish Product and Server Security Measures Effective network security measures are recommended for directors, fabric switches, SAN routers, and the management server. Physical access to the network should be limited and monitored, and password control should be strictly enforced. When planning security measures, consider the following: • Managed products and the management server are installed on a LAN segment and can be accessed by attached devices (including devices connected through a remote LAN). Access from remote devices is limited by installing the management server and managed products on an isolated, dedicated LAN segment. This approach is recommended. Installing and enabling the SANtegrity Authentication and SANtegrity Binding features is also recommended. Configuration Planning Tasks 6-11
