The EME has the following features:
Chassis Management Architecture — Provides a
cost-efficient management architecture that:
Provides a central point of contact for chassis
management
Provides Enterprise Management Controller
(EMC) functions, as well as EME functions with
performance enhancements
Intelligent Power Management — Works with
the EMC to protect network integrity using power
management. The EME manages power use in the
chassis by:
Preventing newly installed interface modules,
switch fabric modules, and management
modules from receiving power when there is
not enough power available.
Allowing you to prioritize the order in which
modules power off (if there is insufficient power
available).
Allowing you to implement fault-tolerant
power, which allows the chassis to reserve some
of its power capacity to protect against a power
supply failure.

EME Network Management Functions

The EME provides the following management and
control capabilities:
Configurations — When you are logged in using
the Administer password, you can configure the
EME and monitor the chassis environment.
Inventory — The EME provides a complete
inventory of Switch contents, including fans and
power supplies. The inventory lists current
software revisions for all installed modules. The
inventory system also supports a scratchpad
feature so that you can add custom information to
the EME display.
Power Management — With EME commands,
you can manage how the Switch reacts to low
power situations. The Switch can also provide
fault-tolerant power, which protects the Switch
against power supply failures.
SNMP Support — SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) is a protocol that the
Internet Engineering Task Force defined. The EME
acts as an agent in an SNMP-managed
environment. The agent responds to SNMP
requests and generates SNMP traps.
Telnet Support — With the EME
command, you can connect an EME to any other
Telnet device. The EME also supports incoming
Telnet sessions so that you can manage an EME
from a workstation with Telnet support or from
another EME.
