Configuring serial and front panel policy options
Create a serial or front panel policy to grant serial port or front panel access to specific switches.
CAUTION: If you create policies without Fabric Manager client/server IP addresses, or if you create
empty Serial, telnet, HTTP, and API policies simultaneously, you cannot then manage security and the
switch.
To create a serial or front panel policy:
1. From the SAN Elements tab, right-click the primary FCS switch of the secure fabric that you want to set
policies on and select Security > Security Policy Editor from the context menu.
The Policy Editor opens (see Figure 116 on page 183).
2. Select the tab that corresponds to the policy you want (Serial or Front Panel).
The policy you selected is displayed (see Figure 122; the Serial policy is used in this example).

3. Click Create Policy.
You have now created an empty policy that denies Serial and Front Panel access from all hosts to all
switches in the fabric.
CAUTION: If you create policies without Fabric Manager client/server IP addresses, or if you create
empty Serial, telnet, HTTP, and API policies simultaneously, you cannot then manage security and the
switch.
4. Optional: Click Name, IP, or WWN to change the display of switches and devices in the Available
Access Points list.
5. Select a switch in the Available Access Points list and click Add Switch to add it to your policy. Repeat
this step for each switch that you want to add.
6. To save your changes or activate the policy with the changes, select the Summary tab.
