Network Manageability - Brocade Communications Systems DCX 8510-8 Hardware Installation Manual

Network manageability

Network manageability

The device has a single domain and is managed as a single element with Brocade Network Advisor. The device responds to its own IP
address and appears as a separate entity to the Telnet protocol and SNMP.
All management interfaces, such as Telnet, Web Tools, standards-compliant SMI-S, and Management Server, support a "port N within
blade M" naming scheme.
The device supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running SAN
management software, the information is stored in a management information base (MIB). Fabric OS v7.0.0 and later supports the latest
Fibre Alliance Fibre Channel Management (FCMGMT) and Storage Management Initiative (SMI) MIBs, which allow common information
necessary for management software to provide information to a SAN administrator. Refer to the Fabric OS MIB Reference for additional
MIB information.
