Connection Security Configuration
The SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch supports secure connections with Telnet and switch management
applications. The Secure Shell protocol (SSH) secures Telnet connections to the switch. The Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL) protocol secures switch connections to the following management applications:
•
Simple SAN Connection Manager
•
QuickTools
•
Enterprise Fabric Management Suite
•
Storage Management Initiative-Specification (SMI-S)
Managing SSL and SSH services
Consider the following when enabling SSH and SSL services:
•
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.
•
To establish a secure Telnet connection, your workstation must use an SSH client.
•
To enable secure SSL connections, you must first synchronize the date and time on the switch and
workstation. See ”
Managing the date and time
” (page 47).
•
The SSL service must be enabled to authenticate users through a Remote Authentication Dial-In Service
(RADIUS) server. See ”
Configuring a RADIUS server on the switch
” (page 98).
•
To disable SSL when using a user authentication RADIUS server, the RADIUS server authentication order
must be local.
•
Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the switch.
