• FCIP MIB

• IPv6 trap destination

• IPv6 SNMP ACL entries

Reliability, Availability, Serviceability (RAS)

The RASLog is modified to support IPv6. RAS will also obsolete traceftp and savecore CLI and

add its functionality to supportsave and supportftp.

Management

Fabric OS 5.3.0 added a new user role: the secAdmin or Security Administrator. This role maintains

security administration, including logging and auditing. The addition of the secAdmin role allows

users to isolate security management from complete Administrator management.

Security

Secure Fabric OS is no longer sold as an option, but integrated into Fabric OS 5.3.0 and later.

IMPORTANT:

Fabric OS 5.3.0 is the last major release that is compatible with SFOS.

Fabric OS 5.3.0 integrated the following new features:

• FICON Cascading no longer requires SFOS

• MAC policies have been replaced by IP filters, allowing configuration of acceptable IP addresses

and ranges that may gain management access to the switch

• Protected-Extensible Authentication Protocol (P-EAP with MSCHAP-v2) support for RADIUS

• DH-CHAP now supported for authentication of HBAs and end-devices in addition to switches

• Additional password security options

• Lockout of Admin users that fail authorization

• Flexible E_Port authentication settings, allowing better interoperability options for fabrics with

varying levels of support. Certificate authentication is now optional

• Auditing of authorization attempts
