Security Features

Users cannot access any of the 10GbE switches firmware directly. All requests are handled by proxy through Oracle ILOM.

AAA

The critical security features provided by Oracle ILOM are as follows:

• Authentication: Ensuring that only authorized individuals get access to the system and data.

• Authorization: Access control to system privileges and data. This builds on authentication to ensure that individuals get appropriate access only.

• Audit: Allows administrators to detect attempted breaches of the authentication mechanisms and attempted or successful breaches of access control.

Oracle ILOM information is located in the Oracle Integrated Lights Out Manager 3.0 documentation collection at: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19860-01/

10GbE switches security features are accessible only through Oracle ILOM.
