Management Modules

The Switch 4007 chassis contains two slots
(slots 8 and 9) for Management Modules
management modules. These modules do not occupy
module payload slots. Figure 8 shows the front panel.

You can communicate through an RS-232 connector
(for connection to a terminal) or an RJ-45 port (for
connection to Ethernet networks) on the front panel
of the EME to configure and report on switch and
module operation.
The Switch 4007 EME is an SNMP-based network
management module that allows you to configure
and manage the Switch 4007 chassis and modules.
The EME backplane services generate, control, and
monitor the Switch. The management modules
provide power management functions.
You manage the switch through:
The EME command interface, which you access
through the serial port, or through SNMP (Simple
Network Management Protocol).
The Switch 4007 Web Management suite of
applications.
3Com Transcend Network Control Services.
An EME combines the functions of a management
module and a controller module. You can install a
second EME to provide standby management support
if the first EME is unavailable for any reason.
Table 3 describes the EME access mechanisms.
