Product Overview

The security guidelines in this guide apply to the following 10GbE Switches:

The 10GbE switches product line provides multipurpose connectivity for Oracle blades, Netra blades, and rack-mount platforms. These switches provide connectivity through SFP+ and QSFP connectors.

It is important to understand that having network access to the platforms and blades does not compromise the security of the switches in general. Platforms and blades do not have direct access to the switch firmware.

All policies that need to be set up in the 10GbE switches are accessible only through Oracle ILOM (Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager).

All software written for these switches is embedded in firmware with access provided only by authenticated users through Oracle ILOM.
