The 3Com CoreBuilder
SNMP-based network management module that enables you to
configure and manage the 3Com CoreBuilder 9000 7-slot chassis, 8-slot
chassis, and 16-slot chassis, and their modules. Use the EME (Model
Number 3CB9EME) to:
Manage the chassis through the EME command interface, which you
access through the serial port or through SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol).
Gain access to the Administration Console of switching modules,
switch fabric modules, and interface modules.
Gain access to the Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Local
Management Application (LMA) to manage cell-based ATM interface
modules and ATM switch fabric modules. See the ATM Enterprise
Switch documents on the CoreBuilder 9000 Documentation CD-ROM
for more information.
An EME combines the functions of a management module and a
controller module. You can install a second EME in the chassis as a
redundant EME. The redundant, or secondary, EME provides standby
management support if the first, or primary, EME fails or becomes
unavailable for any reason. Or, for standby controller support, you can
install an Enterprise Management Controller (EMC) module instead of a
second EME.
This document provides the basic information that you need to install and
use the EME.
