The system administrator can also use the HP EFC Manager application to assign remote workstation access to directors. Remote sessions can be allowed for anyone on a customer intranet, disallowed completely, or restricted to specific workstations. Remote users must log into the HP EFC Manager application with a user name and password, just as when logging in to the local HP EFC server. Passwords are encrypted when sent across the network. By entering workstation IP addresses at the HP EFC Manager application, administrators can allow access from all user workstations or only from specific workstations. For access through the Web server interface, the system administrator provides IP addresses of directors to authorized users, assigns access usernames, and controls associated passwords. Name Server Zoning The director supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in separate zones cannot recognize name server information or communicate with each other. Figure 18 illustrates three zones (with four devices per zone).
