4 Fabric and Edge switch configuration • If DCC security is being used on Edge switches that directly connect to the FC SAN Module, make sure to include the module WWN or the port WWN of the external ports (N_Ports). Also include the HBA WWNs that will be connected to internal ports (F_Ports) to the ACL list in the ACL policy. It is recommended to use FC SAN Module ADS policy instead of the DCC policy on the Edge switch. • Allow inband queries for forwarded fabric management requests from the hosts.
