vsanDenyUnknownWwn
Module: CISCO-VSAN-MIB
OID (symbolic): CISCO-VSAN-MIB::vsanDenyUnknownWwn
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.282.1.2.1
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: TruthValue
Access: read-write
Description: On a Fibre Channel fabric, an N_port is required to issue an Fabric Login (FLOGI) in order to login to the fabric. The FLOGI contains port's Port World Wide Name (WWN). By default, if this object is false and if a Port WWN is not present in the VSAN WWN database (if there is one), the static VSAN membership is used. If this object is 'true', then the FLOGI is denied if the Port WWN is not present in membership database.
On other kinds of fabric, this object's value is undefined.
What is vsanDenyUnknownWwn?
This read-write TruthValue object controls whether an N_port's Fabric Login (FLOGI) is rejected on this VSAN when its Port World Wide Name is not already present in the VSAN's WWN database; by default (false) an unlisted port still gets static VSAN membership, but setting it true denies the login outright. A security-conscious administrator enables this to enforce strict port-level access control on a VSAN, preventing unauthorized or unrecognized devices from joining the fabric. For example, setting vsanDenyUnknownWwn to true on a VSAN carrying sensitive storage traffic blocks any new HBA whose WWN has not been explicitly added to that VSAN's WWN list.
