SIOM Feature Considerations

© Copyright Lenovo 2017
SIOM has two aspects which must be accomplished on the switch:
 The provisioning process which supplies all the necessary settings for the secure
Ethernet connection for management and for the secure protocols enabled on
the switch.
 The protocols enabled during the functioning of a switch in SIOM.
Switch boots up with all operational (data) ports disabled. Although the
management ports are enabled, they canʹt be used by admin to set up the switch
until the configuration is applied.
Internal management port is used by the CMM during the provisioning to
exchange information with IOM.
At the end of provisioning, when SIOM is enabled, the rest of the operational ports
come up and the switch will be fully functional.
When in SIOM mode, the PKI system of switch cannot be controlled. The user
cannot import his own certificate. All certificates are provisioned by CMM.
