Note Fabric Manager does not support SecureID because it is not compatible with SNMP authentication.
Fabric Manager uses the same login credentials for all the switches in a fabric. Since SecureID cannot
be used more than once for authentication, Fabric Manager will not be able to establish a connection to
the second switch using a SecureID.
