Switch Management
: Provides for out-of-band management of the
switch with EFCM BASIC, SNMP, and CIM. If this service is disabled, the
switch can only be managed inband or through the serial port. The

Inband Management
: Provides for the management of the switch over an
inter-switch link using EFCM BASIC, SNMP, or management server. If
you disable inband management, you can no longer communicate with
that switch by means other than a direct Ethernet or serial connection.The
default is enabled.

Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
: Provides for secure SSL connections for
EFCM BASIC, the McDATA Embedded Web Server, and the CIM. This
service must be enabled to authenticate users through a RADIUS server
when using EFCM BASIC. To enable secure SSL connections, you must
first synchronize the date and time on the switch and workstation.
Enabling SSL automatically creates a security certificate on the switch.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
: Provides for the
management of the switch through third-party applications that use the
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Security consists of a
read community string and a write community string that serve as
passwords that control read and write access to the switch. These strings
are set at the factory to these well-known defaults and should be changed
if SNMP is to be enabled. Otherwise, you risk unwanted access to the
switch. The default is enabled.
