Software Features

Table 2   Software Release 1.2(1) Software Features

Software Feature  Description 
LUN Zoning

Hardware-based zoning that restricts SCSI initiator (host) access to specified SCSI logical unit numbers (LUNs) within a target device.

Read-only Zones

A hardware enforced zone property that limits SCSI initiator access to read-only operations for zones (applicable to all MDS zoning types). Both read/write and read-only zones can be configured in the same VSAN.

IP Access Control Lists (ACL)

Access lists that selectively permit or deny access to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family in-band (IP-over-FC) and out-of-band (Ethernet management port) based on a range of IP addresses and protocol types.

Port Security

Prevents unauthorized access to Fibre Channel (FC) ports by rejecting login requests from unknown hosts and switch devices. Allowed devices can be manually specified for all ports, individual ports, or ranges of ports. Port security settings can also be learned automatically from current FC configuration.

VSAN-Based Access Controls

Qualifies user roles by VSAN, to enable alignment of roles with logical partitioning of the physical network infrastructure.

Remote Switched Port Analyzer (RSPAN)

Enables SPAN sources to target SPAN destination ports on remote switches.

Common SNMP-CLI Roles

Roles created or modified using CLI or SNMP can be associated with both CLI and SNMP users.

New CLI Commands

New CLI commands include:

clear license, clear line, clear port-security, clear ssh hosts, clear user, fc-tunnel, install license, install module epld, interface fc-tunnel, ip access-list, port-security, port-security database, rspan-tunnel, vsan policy deny, show auto-copy, show fc-tunnel, show hardware, show incompatibility, show install all impact, show ip access-list, show license, show line, show port-security.

Modified CLI Commands

Modified CLI commands include:

boot, dir, fcping, line com 1, span session, show span session, show tech-support, zone name.

Refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Command Reference for further information on CLI commands.
