Table 10 Security class areas
Area Indicates
API Violation An API access request reaches a secure switch from an unauthorized
IP address.
DCC Violation An unauthorized device attempts to log in to a secure fabric.
Front Panel Violation A secure switch detects unauthorized front panel access.
HTTP Violation A browser access request reaches a secure switch from an
unauthorized IP address.
Illegal Command Commands permitted only to the primary Fibre Channel Switch (FCS)
are executed on another switch.
Incompatible DB Secure switches with different version stamps have been detected.
Invalid Certificates The primary FCS sends a certificate to all switches in the secure fabric
before it sends configuration data. Receiving switches accept only
packets with the correct certificate; any other certificates are invalid
and represent an attempted security breach.
Invalid Signatures If a switch cannot verify the signature of a packet, the switch rejects
the packet and the signature becomes invalid.
Invalid Timestamps If a time interval becomes too great from the time a packet is sent to
the time it is received, the timestamp of the packet becomes invalid
and the switch rejects it.
Login Violation A login violation occurs when a secure fabric detects a login failure.
MS Violation An MS (Management Server) violation occurs when an access
request reaches a secure switch from an unauthorized WWN (World
Wide Name). The WWN appears in the ERRLOG.
No FCS The switch has lost contact with the primary FCS.
