Configuration Planning Tasks 6 • Remote access to products is possible through the maintenance port or an internal modem connection to the management server. These connections are for use by authorized service personnel only and should be carefully monitored. • The number of remote workstations with access to the management server and managed products can and should be restricted. Obtain IP addresses for workstations that should have exclusive access. Ensure adequate security measures are established for the configured workstations. • Carefully manage users (up to 16) who have access to the SAN management, SANvergence Manager, and Element Manager applications, and assign user names, passwords, and user rights. • Ensure adequate security controls are established for remote access software, including the SANpilot interface. Task 10: Plan Phone Connections Analog telephone connections are used by service personnel and for access to the management server's internal modem. Plan for one or more telephone connections near the server because of the following: • If a field-replaceable unit (FRU) in a managed product fails, the management server provides a call-home feature that transmits a message through the server's internal modem connection to a designated support center. • While performing a diagnostic or repair action, a service representative or network administrator at the management server may require voice technical support through a telephone connection. • A service representative may need to connect to the management server through the internal modem to access maintenance and utility functions, check status, and perform other tasks. 6-12 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
