Fabric Manager uses the regular expressions to convert multiple alias names into one enclosure. The
Note
alias names should be in the same expression pattern rule. You can create enclosure names from selected
aliases using the regular expresssions list.
Controlling Administrator Access with Users and Roles
Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches support role-based management access whether using the CLI or
Cisco Fabric Manager. This lets you assign specific management privileges to particular roles and then
assign one or more users to each role.
The default-role contains the access permissions needed by a user to access the GUI (Fabric Manager
and Device Manager). These access permissions are automatically granted to all users in order for them
to use the GUI.
Cisco Fabric Manager uses SNMPv3 to establish role-based management access. After completing the
setup routine, a single role, user name, and password are established. The role assigned to this user
allows the highest level of privileges, which includes creating users and roles. Use the Cisco Fabric
Manager to create roles and users and to assign passwords as required for secure management access in
your network.
