NIAP-CCEVS Certification

Some Brocade devices have passed the Common Criteria (CC) certification testing. This testing is
sponsored by the National Information Assurance Partnership (NIAP) - Common Criteria Evaluation
and Validation Scheme (CCEVS). For more information regarding the NIAP-CCEVS certification
process refer to the following link:

In an effort to maintain a proper level of security as it relates to access to network infrastructure
resources, Brocade recommends that all Brocade hardware be installed within a secure location
that is accessible by approved personnel only.

NIAP-CCEVS certified Brocade equipment and
Ironware releases

The Business Continuity Manager is NIAP-CCEVS certified. The following IronWare software release
must be used to remain compliant with this certification:

Local user password changes

Please note that if existing usernames and passwords have been configured on a Brocade Device
with specific privilege levels (super-user, read-only, port-config), and if you attempt to change a
user's password by executing the following syntax:

Brocade-Device(config)# user brcdreadonly password value

The privilege level of this particular user will be changed from its current value to "super-user". The
“super-user” level username and password combination provides full access to the Brocade
command line interface (CLI). To prevent this from occurring, use the following syntax:

Brocade-Device(config)# user fdryreadonly privilege value password
