SNMP Management Workstations

An SNMP agent that runs on the HP EFC Server can be configured through the HP EFC
Manager application. This agent implements the Fibre Alliance management information
base (MIB). The agent can be configured to send SNMP trap messages to up to 12
recipients. In addition, there is a separate SNMP agent that runs on each director that is
configured through the Product Manager application. This agent implements the following
MIBs:
• The Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (Version 2.0).
• A subset of the standard transmission control protocol/internet protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-
II definition (RFC1213).
• The director-specific MIB.
The director SNMP agent can be configured to send trap messages to up to six recipients.
SNMP management is only intended for director monitoring, therefore the default state of
all MIB variables is read-only. If installed on a dedicated LAN, SNMP management
workstations communicate directly with all directors. If installed on a customer intranet,
workstations communicate with directors through the HP EFC Server.

Web Browser Access

The embedded Web server interface provides a GUI accessed through the Internet (locally
or remotely) to manage a single director. If the embedded Web server interface is to be
implemented:
• Plan for an Internet connection to the LAN segment on which the director or directors
are installed. The LAN connection is provided through an Ethernet hub or the corporate
intranet.
• Ensure adequate security measures are implemented to preclude unauthorized access
to directors. Ensure IP addresses (uniform resource locators (URLs) for Internet or
telnet access) of managed directors, usernames, and passwords are tightly controlled.
