• Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or
switch. When port beaconing is enabled, the amber LED
associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled,
the system error indicator on the front panel flashes. Beaconing
does not affect port or switch operation.
• Data collection through the Element Manager application to help
isolate system problems. The data includes a memory dump file
and audit, hardware, and engineering logs.
• Status monitoring of redundant FRUs and alternate Fibre
Channel data paths to ensure continued director availability in
case of failover. The SANavigator or EFCM 8 application queries
the status of each backup FRU daily. A backup FRU failure is
indicated by an illuminated amber LED.
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP) management
using the Fibre Alliance MIB that runs on the management server.
Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be configured
through the SAN Management application to receive unsolicited
SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational
state changes and failure conditions.
• SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB,
transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II
definition (RFC 1213), or a product-specific MIB that runs on each
switch. Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be
configured through the Element Manager application to receive
unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate
switch operational state changes and failure conditions.
• SNMP management using the Fibre Alliance MIB that runs on the
management server. Up to 12 authorized management
workstations can be configured through the SAN Management

messages indicate operational state changes and failure
conditions.
