Management server database

NOTE

The management server is logical switch-capable. All management server features are supported

within a logical switch.

Displaying the management server ACL

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Enter the msConfigure command.

The command becomes interactive.

3. At the “select” prompt, enter 1 to display the access list.

A list of WWNs that have access to the management server is displayed.

Example of an empty access list

switch:admin> msconfigure

0 Done

1 Display the access list

2 Add member based on its Port/Node WWN

3 Delete member based on its Port/Node WWN

select : (0..3) [1] 1

MS Access list is empty.

Adding a member to the ACL

1. Connect to the switch and log in using an account assigned to the admin role.

2. Enter the msConfigure command.

The command becomes interactive.

3. At the “select” prompt, enter 2 to add a member based on its port/node WWN.

4. At the “Port/Node WWN” prompt, enter the WWN of the host to be added to the ACL.

5. At the “select” prompt, enter 1 to display the access list so you can verify that the WWN you

entered was added to the ACL.

6. After verifying that the WWN was added correctly, enter 0 at the prompt to end the session.

7. At the “Update the FLASH?” prompt, enter y.

8. Press Enter to update the nonvolatile memory and end the session.

Example of adding a member to the management server ACL
