• When the FC-management security feature is enabled on a Cisco MDS switch, all management queries
to the server are rejected unless the port world-wide name (pWWN) of the device that is sending
management queries is added to FC-management database.
• When you enable FC Management, FC-CT management server queries from N_Port Virtualization (NPV)
switches to N_Port Identifier Virtualization (NPIV) switches are rejected. We recommend that you add
the switch world-wide name (sWWN) of the NPV switch to the FC management database of the NPIV
switch after enabling the FC-management security feature.
