(For example, the EFCM Basic interface does not support all product
maintenance functions.)
In addition, the EFCM Basic interface provides hyperlink access to
other products in a fabric, which means those products can also be
managed. Refer to Chapter 10, Upgrading Your SAN Management
for information on differences between the EFCM Basic
System
interface and other applications such as EFCM and SANavigator.
Users can perform the following tasks using the EFCM Basic
interface:
• Display the properties and operational status of the product,
FRUs, and Fibre Channel ports, display product operating
parameters, and display fabric parameters.
• Configure the director or switch, including:
— Fibre Channel port parameters, port types, and data
transmission speeds.
— Product identification, date and time, operating domain
parameters, fabric parameters, and network addresses.
— Parameters for product management through Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP), the Command Line
Interface (CLI), the Open System Management Server (OSMS)
feature, or the Fibre Connection (FICON™) management
server (FMS) feature.
— Security options which include authorized users, settings, port
binding, switch binding, and fabric binding. Additional
security includes setting access to IP ACL, Authorization, and
RADIUS functions.
NOTE: The ES-1000 Switch, and loop devices do not support out-of-band
management through FMS. However, these switches do support
transmission of FICON frames.
— Zones and zone sets.
— Authentication for users.
• Monitor ports, port optics, and port statistics, and display the
event log and node list.
