Product Management
Out-of-band (non-Fibre Channel) management access to HP products is provided
through two Ethernet LAN connections to director control processor (CTP) cards
or a single connection to a director front panel. The following out-of-band

Management through the HAFM application. The HAFM application includes
the Director 2/64 Product Manager, Edge Switch 2/16 Product Manager, and
Edge Switch 2/32 Product Manager applications. This GUI resides on the
HAFM server and provides a single point of management for all directors and
switches. Refer to "Product
applications.
Operators at remote workstations can connect to the HAFM server through
the local HAFM application and associated Product Manager applications to
manage and monitor directors and switches controlled by the HAFM server. A
maximum of nine concurrent users (including a local user) can log in to the
HAFM application. Refer to
information.
Management using simple network management protocol (SNMP). An
SNMP agent is implemented through the HAFM application that allows
administrators on SNMP management workstations to access product
management information using any standard network management tool.
Administrators can assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding
community names for up to six SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP
trap message recipients. Refer to
page 128 for information.
Management through the Internet using the EWS interface installed on the
director or switch. This interface supports configuration, statistics monitoring,
and basic operation of the product, but does not offer all the capabilities of the
corresponding Product Manager application. Administrators launch the Web
server interface from a remote PC by entering the product's IP address as the
Internet uniform resource locator (URL), then entering a user name and
password at a login screen. The PC browser then becomes a management
console.
Management through a PC-based Telnet session using the CLI. Any platform
that supports Telnet client software can be used.
