Creating an SCC policy The switch connection control (SCC) policy is used to restrict which switches can join the fabric. Switches are checked against the policy each time an E_Port-to-E_Port connection is made. The policy is named SCC_POLICY and accepts members listed as WWNs, Domain IDs, or switch names. Only one SCC policy can be created. By default, any switch is allowed to join the fabric; the SCC policy does not exist until it is created. When connecting a Fibre Channel router to a fabric or switch that has an active SCC policy, the front domain of the Fibre Channel router must be included in the SCC policy. SCC policy states are shown in Table 29. Table 29 SCC policy states Policy state SCC policy enforcement No active policy All switches can connect to the switch with the specified policy. Active policy that has no members All neighboring switches are segmented. Active policy that has members The neighboring switches not specified in the SCC policy are segmented. To create an SCC policy: 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Type secPolicyCreate "SCC_POLICY", "member;...;member". member indicates a switch that is permitted to join the fabric. Specify switches by WWN, Domain ID, or switch name. Enter an asterisk (*) to indicate all the switches in the fabric. For example, to create an SCC policy that allows switches that have Domain IDs 2 and 4 to join the fabric: switch:admin> secpolicycreate "SCC_POLICY", "2;4" SCC_POLICY has been created 3. To save or activate the new policy, enter either the secPolicySave or the secPolicyActivate command. If neither of these commands is entered, the changes are lost when the session is logged out. For more information about these commands, see "Saving changes to ACL policies" on page 114 and "Activating changes to ACL policies" on page 115. Saving changes to ACL policies You can save changes to the defined ACL policy set without activating them by entering the secPolicySave command. You can implement changes to the ACL policies using the secPolicyActivate command. This saves the changes to the active policy set and activates all policy changes since the last time the command was issued. You cannot activate policies on an individual basis; all changes to the entire policy set are activated by the command. Until a secPolicySave or secPolicyActivate command is issued, all policy changes are in volatile memory only and are lost upon rebooting. To save changes without activating the policies: 1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role. 2. Type the secPolicySave command. switch:admin> secpolicysave 114 Configuring advanced security features
