You can configure a switch with a group of devices against which the switch authorizes new attachments by devices, other switches, or devices issuing management server commands. Device security is defined through the use of security sets and groups. A group is a list of device WWNs that are authorized to attach to a switch. There are three types of groups: one for other switches (ISL), another for devices (port), and a third for devices that issue management server commands (MS). A security set is a set of up to three groups with no more than one of each group type. The security database is made up of all security sets on the switch. In addition to providing authorization, the switch can be configured to require authentication to validate the identity of the connecting switch, device, or host. Authentication can be performed locally using the switch's security database, or remotely using a RADIUS server such as Microsoft RADIUS.
