Zoning - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 Installation Manual

• 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.
• An external modem for use by support personnel to dial-in to the HAFM server
(optional) for event notification and to perform remote diagnostics.
• Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or
administrators) through e-mail messages or the call-home feature.
• SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (Version 2.2),
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II definition
(RFC 1213), or a product-specific MIB that runs on the switch. Up to six
authorized management workstations can be configured through the EWS
interface and Product Manager application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap
messages. The trap messages indicate product operational state changes and
failure conditions.
• Optional SNMP management using the Fibre Alliance MIB that runs on the
HAFM server. Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be configured
through the HAFM application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The
trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions.
NOTE: For more information about SNMP support provided by Hewlett-Packard products, refer
to the hp StorageWorks SNMP reference guide for directors and edge switches.

Zoning

The switch supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into
restricted-access groups called zones. Devices in the same zone can recognize and
communicate with each other through switched port-to-port connections. Devices in
separate zones cannot communicate with each other.
Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information
associated with device N_Ports that attach to switch fabric ports (F_Ports). A zone
member is specified by the port number to which a device is attached, or by the
eight-byte (16-digit) World Wide Name (WWN) assigned to the host bus adapter
(HBA) or Fibre Channel interface installed in a device. A device can belong to
multiple zones.
