Product Management Overview

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 access methods are provided:

Management through the HAFM application. The HAFM application includes
the Director 2/64 Element Manager, Edge Switch 2/16 Element Manager, and
Edge Switch 2/32 Element Manager applications. This GUI resides on the
HAFM appliance and provides a single point of management for all directors
and switches. Refer to
these applications.
Operators at remote workstations can connect to the HAFM appliance
through the local HAFM application and associated Element Manager
applications to manage and monitor directors and switches controlled by the
HAFM appliance. A maximum of nine concurrent users (including a local
user) can log in to the HAFM application. Refer to
Workstations" on page 141 for information.
Product management through the SAN management or
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 143 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 Element 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.
