Network manageability

The Brocade DCX 8510-8 has a single domain and is managed as a single element with the
Brocade Network Advisor. The Brocade DCX 8510-8 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 Brocade DCX 8510-8 supports SNMPv1 and SNPMv3. 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.
