Overview

Security

Secure telnet access is available using Secure Shell (SSH), a network security protocol for

secure remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network.

Advanced Web Tools management is available via a secure browser using Secure Sockets

Layer (SSL). The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message

integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into

all major browsers and web servers, installing a digital certificate turns on the SSL capabilities.

Network manageability

The Core Switch 2/64 and SAN Director 2/128 are each managed as a single element and

appear as a single element to a Network Management System (NMS). The switch responds to

its own IP address and appears as a separate entity to the telnet protocol and SNMP.

The management interfaces include blade assemblies as intermediate components between

switches and ports. In addition, all management interfaces, such as telnet, Advanced Web

Tools, the Fabric Access Layer API, and Management Server, support a

port N within blade M

naming scheme.

When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running SAN

management software, the information is stored in a management information base (MIB).

Fabric OS v4.x supports the latest Fibre Alliance Fibre Channel Management (FCMGMT) and

Storage Management Initiative (SMI) MIBs, which allow common information necessary for

management software to provide information to a SAN administrator.

NOTE:

For additional MIB information, refer to the

HP StorageWorks MIB reference guide

for

the Fabric OS version running on your switch.

Management summary

The Core Switch 2/64 and the SAN Director 2/128 can be managed in-band using Fibre

Channel protocol or out-of-band by connecting to the Ethernet port. The management functions

allow you to monitor fabric topology, port status, physical status, and performance statistics.

The Core Switch 2/64 and the SAN Director 2/128 are compatible with the following

management interfaces:

•

Command Line Interface (CLI) through a telnet connection

•

Advanced Web Tools, an integrated GUI

•

SNMP applications
