• Secure Socket Layer (SSL): Provides for secure SSL connections for the QuickTools web applet and SMI-S. This service must be enabled to authenticate users through a Remote Authenticaton Dial-in Service (RADIUS) server. To enable secure SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time on the switch and the workstation. Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the switch. The default is disabled. NOTE: Simple SAN Connection Manager version 1.0 does not support the SSL service. If SSL is enabled, you will be unable to manage the switch using this version of Simple SAN Connection Manager. • QuickTools web applet (EmbeddedGUI): Provides for access to the QuickTools web applet. QuickTools enables you to point at a switch with an internet browser and manage the switch through the browser. The default is enabled. • Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): Provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Security consists of a read community string and a write community string that serve as passwords that control read and write access to the switch. These strings are set at the factory to these well-known defaults and should be changed if SNMP is to be enabled. Otherwise, you risk unwanted access to the switch. The switch supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3. The default configuration enables SNMP and disables SNMP version 3 security. • Common Information Model (CIM): Provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications that use the Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S). The default is enabled. • File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Provides for transferring files rapidly between the workstation and the switch using FTP. The default is enabled. • Management Server (MS): Enables or disables the management of the switch through third-party applications that use FC-GS-3 Management Server. The default is disabled. • Call Home: IMPORTANT: The Call Home service provides an e-mail notification capability for the switch. This service has no relationship with the HP Call Home feature, which notifies only HP services. Provides for automated e-mail notification of switch status and operating conditions based on specified event severity levels. The default is enabled. The Call Home service requires an Ethernet connection to at least one Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server. You must configure the Call Home service to do the following: • Enable primary and secondary SMTP servers and specify their IP addresses • Specify contact information Configure one or more Call Home profiles to specify e-mail recipients, message format, and the event severity level that will initiate a message. In addition, you can configure periodic event data collection and processing through the Tech_Support_Center profile for automated status and trend analysis. 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch installation and reference guide 23
