Enabling SSH

SSH needs to be enabled on all the IOA switches for Fabric Manager to provision IOA. By default, the
SSH service is enabled with the RSA key.
To enable the SSH service, follow these steps:
Command
Step 1
switch# config t
Step 2
switch(config)# feature ssh

For more information about the SSH service, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family NX-OS Security
Configuration Guide.

Enabling CFS

CFS must be enabled on the IOA switches as well as those switches of which the hosts and targets are
directly connected to. FC-Redirect internally uses CFS to configure the rules for any given flow in the
fabric.
