Accessing The Embedded Switch Module; Interpreting Post Results - Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 Hardware Reference Manual

Accessing the Embedded Switch Module

The Embedded Switch Module is managed as a single element. It has a single IP address and
appears as a separate entity to the Telnet protocol and the Simple Network Management Protocol
(SNMP).
When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running SAN management
software, the information is stored in a Management Information Base (MIB). The Brocade 5450
Embedded Switch Module with Fabric OS 6.2.0_emb or 6.3.0 and greater supports the
FibreAlliance Fibre Channel Management (FCMGMT) MIBs, allowing the provision of needed
information to a SAN administrator.
In addition, the Brocade Fabric Access Layer (API) and the Storage Management Initiative (SMI)
provide facilities for the discovery and management of physical and logical elements in a SAN.
Using the Fabric Access interface to the Fabric OS, a client application can retrieve information and
modify the configuration of Brocade switches in the fabric.
Secure Telnet access is available using Secure Shell (SSH), a network security protocol for secure
remote login and other secure network services over an insecure network.
Brocade Web Tools management is available through a secure browser using Secure Sockets Layer
(SSL). The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity,
and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into all major
browsers and Web servers, installing a digital certificate enables the SSL capabilities.

Interpreting POST results

The power-on self test (POST) system check is performed each time the Embedded Switch Module
is powered on, rebooted, or reset.
Example POST Output
During POST, the LEDs are activated in various indicator patterns.
Perform the following steps to determine POST completion status.
