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.
To create a serial or front panel policy
1. In the Information Panel, right-click the secure fabric for which you want to set policies and choose
Security > Security Policy Editor from the context menu.
The Policy Editor appears (see Figure 17-3 on page 17-4).
2. Click the tab that corresponds to the policy you want (Serial or Front Panel).
The selected policy appears (see Figure 17-9 on page 17-14). The Serial policy is used in this
example; the Front Panel policy is similar.
Caution
If you create policies without Fabric Manager client/server IP addresses, or if you create empty Serial,
Telnet, HTTP, and API policies simultaneously, then you will suddenly be unable to manage security and
the switch.
