Cisco MDS 9000 Family Release Notes for Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.2(2c)
OL-14116-03
Limitations and Restrictions
New MIBS
The following new MIB is included in Cisco MDS 9000 SAN-OS release 3.2(2c):
• CISCO-SME-MIB
MDS Authentication Mode
As of SAN-OS Release 3.x, Cisco Fabric Manager required users to log in to the Fabric Manager server
and the switches in the fabrics. This resulted in a two-step login process. The MDS authentication mode
option has been added to the Cisco Fabric Manager installer to enable users to log in to the Fabric
Manager server with switch credentials, restoring the one-step login process. This feature can be used
with both the standalone and Fabric Manager Server configurations.
If more than one fabric is going to be opened by Cisco Fabric Manager in the MDS authentication mode,
both switch fabrics must have the same credentials for a user.
