SME Security Overview
Additional Security Capabilities
Additional security capabilities offered by Cisco NX-OS complete the SME solution. For example,
RADIUS and servers can be used to authenticate, authorize, and provide accounting (AAA)
for SME administrators. Management of SME can be limited to authorized administrators using
role-based access controls (RBACs). When communication occurs from the DCNM-SAN to cluster
nodes, the secure shell (SSHv2) protocol provides message integrity and privacy. PKI certificates can be
configured in the CKMC and cluster nodes to enable trustpoint (SSL-protected transport).
