Fabric Manager v3 to

v4.1.1 Upgrade

Secure Fabric OS

Fabric Manager v4.1.1 license upgrade for customers who previously purchased Fabric Manager v3.

NOTE: Fabric Manager v3 to v4.1.1 Upgrade is optional for Core Switch 2/64 and Core Power Pack.

NOTE:

Secure Fabric OS™ is available only on the B-Series platform and is the only solution that provides

protection for both management access and switch-to-switch authentication. This comprehensive security

solution for SAN fabrics provides policy-based security protection for more predictable change

management, assured configuration integrity and reduced risk of downtime. Secure Fabric OS protects

the network by using the strongest, enterprise-class security methods available, including digital

certificates and digital signatures, multiple levels of password protection, strong password encryption and

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)-based authentication, and 128-bit encryption of the switch's private key

used for digital signatures. With its flexible design, Secure Fabric OS enables organizations to customize

SAN security to meet specific policy requirements. In addition, Secure Fabric OS works in conjunction

with Advanced Zoning to further secure access to the SAN, simplify storage management, and reduce

provisioning time.
