Security Class Areas
Indicates
An API access request reaches a secure switch from an unauthorized IP
address.
An unauthorized device attempts to log in to a secure fabric.
A secure switch detects unauthorized front panel access.
A browser access request reaches a secure switch from an unauthorized IP
address.
Commands permitted only to the primary Fibre Channel Switch (FCS) are
executed on another switch.
Secure switches with different version stamps have been detected.
The primary FCS sends a certificate to all switches in the secure fabric before
it sends configuration data. Receiving switches accept only packets with the
correct certificate; any other certificates are invalid and represent an
attempted security breach.
If a switch cannot verify the signature of a packet, the switch rejects the
packet and the signature becomes invalid.
If a time interval becomes too great from the time a packet is sent to the time
it is received, the timestamp of the packet becomes invalid and the switch
rejects it.
A login violation occurs when a secure fabric detects a login failure.
An MS (Management Server) violation occurs when an access request
reaches a secure switch from an unauthorized WWN (World Wide Name).
The WWN appears in the ERRLOG.
The switch has lost contact with the primary FCS.
An RSNMP (Remote Simple Network Management Protocol) violation
occurs when an SNMP (simple network management protocol) get operation
reaches a secure switch from an unauthorized IP address.
