EME Management Architecture

EME Network Management Functions
EME Management Architecture
The Enterprise Management Engine (EME) is the
primary communication mechanism into the 8-slot
chassis and any installed switch fabric modules and
interface modules.
The EME is an SNMP-based network management
module that manages and controls the 3Com
CoreBuilder 9000 chassis and its modules.

HASSIS
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
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.
