Features
•
Audit log tracking - Configuration changes to a director or fabric
switch are recorded in an audit log stored on the management
server. Users can display the audit log through the Element
Manager application. Log entries include the date and time of the
configuration change, a description of the change, and the source
of the change.
NOTE: SAN routers do not support audit log tracking.
•
Zoning - System administrators can create zones that provide
product access control to increase network security, differentiate
between operating systems, and prevent data loss or corruption.
Zoning can be implemented in conjunction with server-level
access control and storage device access control.

Authentication - This feature enhances SAN
SANtegrity
security by providing password safety; challenge handshake
authentication protocol (CHAP) verification for fabric elements,
management servers, and devices; a product control point (PCP)
user database; common transport (CT) authentication for the
open-system management server (OSMS) interface; remote
authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) server support (to
store and authenticate passwords and CHAP secrets); inband and
out-of-band access controls lists; encrypted secure shell (SSH)
protocol; and security logging.
•
SANtegrity Binding - This feature enhances data security
(in addition to SANtegrity Authentication) in large and complex
SANs that are comprised of numerous fabrics and devices
provided by multiple OEMs. The feature allows or prohibits
director or fabric switch attachment to fabrics (fabric binding) and
allows Fibre Channel device attachment to directors or fabric
switches (switch binding).
NOTE: SAN routers do not support the SANtegrity Binding feature.
SAN routers support port binding only for R_Ports.
McDATA directors, fabric switches, SAN routers, and the SAN
management and Element Manager applications offer the following
