Security consistency checklist

IMPORTANT: The security consistency checklist is available only with Element Manager, which requires the Element Manager PFE key. See ”Installing Product Feature Enablement keys” on page 82 for more information about installing a PFE key. To obtain the McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch serial number and PFE key, follow the step-by-step instructions on the firmware feature entitlement request certificate for the PFE key. You can obtain a PFE key from the web at: www.webkey.external.hp.com.

The Security Consistency Checklist dialog enables you to compare security-related features on switches to

check for inconsistencies. Any changes must be made through the appropriate dialog, such as Network Properties dialog, Switch Properties dialog, or SNMP Properties dialog. Select Switch > Security Consistency Checklist to open the Security Consistency Checklist dialog.
