McDATA Element Manager is a graphical user interface for managing a single McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch
through HAFM. HAFM and McDATA Element Manager are essential tools for managing multiple fabrics or
a single fabric consisting of McDATA 4Gb SAN Switches and McDATA M-series switches.
Command Line Interface
The CLI provides monitoring and configuration functions by which the administrator can manage switch.
The CLI is available by Telnet over an Ethernet connection. See the McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch for HP
p-Class BladeSystem user guide for more information.
Simple Network Management Protocol
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The
switch firmware supports SNMP versions 1 and 2, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base
(FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can
be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2.
File Transfer Protocol
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) provides the CLI for exchanging files between the switch and the management
workstation. These files include firmware image files, configuration files, and log files. See the McDATA
4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem user guide for an example of using FTP to transfer
configuration backup files.
McDATA Element Manager is available only with the Element Manager PFE key. See
