Introduction to McDATA Multi-Protocol Products 1 • Zoning - System administrators can create zones that provide product access control to increase network security, differentiate between operating systems, and prevent data loss or corruption. Zoning can be implemented in conjunction with server-level access control and storage device access control. • SANtegrity® Authentication - This feature enhances SAN security by providing password safety; challenge handshake authentication protocol (CHAP) verification for fabric elements, management servers, and devices; a product control point (PCP) user database; common transport (CT) authentication for the open-system management server (OSMS) interface; remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) server support (to store and authenticate passwords and CHAP secrets); inband and out-of-band access controls lists; encrypted secure shell (SSH) protocol; and security logging. • SANtegrity Binding - This feature enhances data security (in addition to SANtegrity Authentication) in large and complex SANs that are comprised of numerous fabrics and devices provided by multiple OEMs. The feature allows or prohibits director or fabric switch attachment to fabrics (fabric binding) and allows Fibre Channel device attachment to directors or fabric switches (switch binding). NOTE: SAN routers do not support the SANtegrity Binding feature. SAN routers support port binding only for R_Ports. Serviceability Features McDATA directors, fabric switches, SAN routers, and the SAN management and Element Manager applications offer the following general serviceability features. Products or product classes that do not support a serviceability feature are noted. • LEDs provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions. LEDs are provided on FRUs, operator panels, front panels, and bezels. • System alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs, and hardware logs display the following director and fabric switch information at the management server or remote workstations: - Director status. - Fabric switch status. 1-32 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
