Port configuration The following Table provides information on ports that the switch uses. When configuring the switch for various policies, take into consideration firewalls and other devices that may sit between switches in the fabric and your network or between the managers and the switch. Port Type Common use Comment 22 TCP 23 TCP 123 TCP 80 TCP 111 TCP 161 UDP 443 TCP 512 TCP 513 TCP 514 TCP 897 TCP SSH Telnet NTP HTTP sunrpc SNMP HTTPS exec login shell Use the ipfilter command to block the port. Use the ipfilter command to block the port. This port is used by Platform API. Use the ipfilter command to block the port. Disable the SNMP service on the remote host if you do not use it, or filter incoming UDP packets going to this port. Use the ipfilter command to block the port. This port is used by the Platform API. Disable this port using the configure command. Configuring for the SSL protocol Fabric OS 4.4.0 and later supports secure sockets layer (SSL) protocol, which provides secure access to a fabric through Web-based management tools like Web Tools. SSL support is a standard Fabric OS feature. Switches configured for SSL grant access to management tools through hypertext transfer protocol-secure links (which begin with https://) instead of standard links (which begin with http://). SSL uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) encryption to protect data transferred over SSL connections. PKI is based on digital certificates obtained from an Internet Certificate Authority (CA), which acts as the trusted key agent. Certificates are based on the switch IP address or fully qualified domain name (FQDN), depending on the issuing CA. If you change a switch IP address or FQDN after activating an associated certificate, you may have to obtain and install a new certificate. Check with the CA to verify this possibility, and plan these types of changes accordingly. Browser and Java support Fabric OS supports the following Web browsers for SSL connections: • Internet Explorer (Microsoft Windows) • Mozilla (Solaris and Red Hat Linux) In countries that allow the use of 128-bit encryption, you should use the latest version of your browser. For example, Internet Explorer 6.0 and later supports 128-bit encryption by default. You can display the encryption support (called "cipher strength") using the Internet Explorer Help:About menu option. If you are running an earlier version of Internet Explorer, you may be able to download an encryption patch from the Microsoft website at http://www.microsoft.com. You should upgrade to the Java 1.5.0_06 Plug-in on your management workstation. To find the Java version that is currently running, open the Java console and look at the first line of the window. For more details on levels of browser and Java support, see the Web Tools Administrator's Guide. Fabric OS 6.x administrator guide 87
