Configuration Planning Tasks Task 8: Plan E-Mail Notification (Optional) As an option, network administrators can configure director and switch e-mail support. The following support considerations are required if the e-mail notification feature is used: ■ Determine if e-mail notification is to be configured and used for significant system events. ■ Determine which persons (up to five) require e-mail notification of significant director or switch events and record their e-mail addresses. ■ Identify an attached e-mail server that supports the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) standard as defined in RFC 821. Task 9: Establish Product and HAFM Server Security Measures Effective network security measures are recommended for directors, switches, and the HAFM server. Physical access to the network should be limited and monitored, and password control should be strictly enforced. When planning security measures, consider the following: ■ Directors, switches, and the HAFM server are installed on a LAN segment and can be accessed by attached devices (including devices connected through a remote LAN). Access from remote devices is limited by installing the HAFM server and managed products in a secure physical network domain. HP recommends this approach. ■ Access to products is possible through the maintenance port. This connection is for use by authorized service personnel only and should be carefully monitored. ■ The number of remote workstations with access to the HAFM 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 HAFM and Product Manager applications, and assign user names, passwords, and user rights. ■ Ensure adequate security controls are established for remote access software, including the Embedded Web Server.
