Snmp Community Support; Security; San Access Control - ADIC Scalar 100 User Manual

SNMP Community Support

A set of commands is provided for manipulating the SNMP Community strings.
These strings act as passwords for authenticating requests made from managing
applications such as the ADIC Management Console.
There are three different communities defined: Read (allows "Gets" only), Write
(allows "Sets", i.e., changes to be made) and Trap (defines the Community string
that a trap recipient will allow). In order for a managing application to view or
control an SNMP agent (such as the ADIC Gateway), it must provide the correct
community string for each request. The ADIC Gateway allows up to 32 community
strings for each of the Read and Write communities. There is only a single Trap
community string.

Security

Logging on to a server is required to manage the ADIC Gateway via the ADIC
Management Console application. Two levels of privilege control what type of
access is allowed:
Allows full access, including changing parameters
Allows viewing of data and parameters only
Service Port access is managed with User accounts created via telnet or the serial
interface on the ADIC Gateway

SAN Access Control

Access control features include Channel Zoning, optional Virtual Private SAN
(VPS™) and optional Virtual Private Map (VPM™).
Channel Zoning allows selected SCSI channels to be available to selected SAN
connections.
The VPS option requires a software license key to enable the Initiator-Target/LUN
access control feature. VPS manages access permission between any host
attached to a SAN connection and any storage element attached to the ADIC
Gateway. This includes storage devices attached to any SCSI Channel and
storage devices attached to any other SAN Connection on the ADIC Gateway.
The VPM option requires a software license key to enable target devices on any
channel to be mapped to any SCSI host channel.
