The naming conventions for all security groups are listed below.
•
Must start with a letter.
• All alphanumeric chars [aA—zZ] [0—9].
• The symbols $_ - and ^ are the only symbols allowed.
An empty (no members) security group in the active security set will prevent all connections for that security
group type. For example, an empty ISL security group will cause the switch to refuse all logins from other
switches. To add a security group to a security set, perform the following procedure:
1. Click Security on the tool bar in the faceplate display or select Security > Edit Security to open the Edit
Security dialog.
2. Choose one of the following methods to open the Create a Security Group dialog:
• Click a security set and click
Security Group in the tool bar in the graphic window.
• Right-click on a security set and select
Create a Security Group from the popup menu.
3. Enter a security group name and select a security group type ( ISL, Port, or MS). Remember, only one
security group type (1 ISL, 1 Port, 1 MS) in each security set is allowed. The naming conventions for
security groups are:
• Must start with a letter
• All alphanumeric chars [aA—zZ] [0—9]
• The symbols $_ - and ^ are the only symbols allowed
4. Click OK to save the change.
