Security: PKICERT utility,
installing certificates
PKICERT 1.0.6 is the most current version of the PKICERT utility.
When running the PKICERT utility to install switch certificates in a fabric that
did not previously contain switch certificates and now includes a SAN
Director 2/128, select the option to specify that certificates are installed only
on those switches that do not currently contain certificates. SAN Director
2/128s are delivered with switch certificates preinstalled. Switches that were
originally shipped with Fabric OS 2.5, 3.0, and 4.0 and have never installed
and enabled Secure Fabric OS do not have certificates installed.
If you need to reinstall switch certificates in a SAN Director 2/128, follow
these guidelines:
• The host running PKICERT 1.0.6 must be connected to a proxy switch
running Fabric OS 2.6.2, 3.1.2, 4.2.0, or later.
• All switches in the fabric other than the SAN Director 2/128 can run
versions 2.6.1, 3.1, 4.1, or newer firmware.
Security: selectelnet If you try to log in to a switch through a sectelnet client while that switch is in
the process of either booting or shutting down, you might see the message,
Random number generation failed. The message is printed by the
sectelnet client because the switch telnet service is not running (the
service has either already been shut down, if the switch is shutting down, or
is not yet established, if the switch is booting). If the switch is booting, wait a
few seconds and try again.
Security: secure mode If an upgrade from Fabric OS 4.0.x to 4.1.x or 4.2 x is performed, followed
by a downgrade to Fabric OS 4.0.x and upgrade back to Fabric OS 4.1.x
or 4.2.x, the switch password state is reset and prompts the user for new
secure mode passwords. This does not apply to upgrades from version 4.2.0
to 4.4.0.
Security: secure mode,
passwd telnet
CAUTION: Using the passwd telnet command in secure mode to
change the password, results in all sessions using that password being
logged out, including the session that changed the password.
This is expected behavior. The session terminates if you change the password
in secure mode.
Fabric OS: CLI
commands, failover, and
port disable
Changing port configurations during a failover can cause ports to be
disabled. Reissue the command after the failover is complete to bring the
ports online.
