ipfilter co
mmand
Starting with Fabric OS version 5.3.0, you can use the ipfilter command
to block unauthorized Telnet access. The option to disable Telnet using the
configure command is no longer available.
Use the f oll
owing command to create a policy to block Telnet access to any station:
ipfilter --
create blockTelnet -type ipv4 ipfilter
--addrule
blockTelnet -sip any -dp 23 -proto tcp -act deny
ipfilter -
- activate blockTelnet
Use the fol
lowing command to restore default policies for IPv4:
ipfilter -
-activate default_ipv4 --
See the Fabric OS 5.3.0 command reference guide for more information on the
ipfilter command.
PKI certification

the following HP website for information on obtaining a PKI certificate:

FICON s
upport
With release 5.2.0 and later, the Switch Connection Control high integrity
requirement for cascading FICON is available in the standard base Fabric OS.
End users can now deploy new cascade FICON Directors without purchasing
a separate Secure Fabric OS license.
To add a new FICON Director into existing cascaded confi gurations already
running Secured Fabric OS, HP recommends that users continue to deploy
Secure Fabric OS on the new FICON Director instead of migrating to FOS ACL
configuration.
NOTE:
The FC4-48 port Blade is not supported to connect to System z environments
vi a FICON channels or via FCP zLinux on System z. To attach the Dir ect or
to the System z environment, use an FC4-16 or FC4-32 Fibre Channel
port Blade.
