indications.

The two ports described above are part of the range of ports reserved for use by the Management
application server, configurable during installation from the Server Configuration wizard. Refer to
the Brocade Network Advisor Installation Guide or Brocade Network Advisor Migration Guide for
server configuration instructions.

CIM-based discovery is available for ESXi versions 4.1 and later. The CIM server transport does not

CIM server credentials are optional. If you do not provide credentials, basic authentication on the
CIM server is disabled and the Management application attempts discovery without authentication.
The Protocol, Port, User ID, and Password fields on the Add Host Adapters dialog box are persisted
when changing from HCM agent to CIM Server (ESXi only).
