events and alerts that can also be configured and sent to management applications through SNMP.
mPort Technology provides users with the flexibility to decide which licensed ports are active
(SN6000 or 8/20q with less than 20 enabled device ports) . De-activate one to four of the high-speed
stacking ports of the SN6000 and enable the equivalent number of device ports. The administrator
decides which ports are active based on their fabric needs.
Robust On-Line Help features provide step by step instructions through an embedded Help
function.
Fibre Channel Fabric Ping is an essential tool for troubleshooting fabric problems. FC Ping verifies
that a functional path exists between two ports and provides round trip information. Administrators
can determine which ports and devices are responding - allowing the administrator to quickly
identify issues.
Fibre Channel Trace Route provides insight about the fabric and assists with troubleshooting
congestion. FC Trace Route traces the route through the Fibre Channel network and displays path
information between a source and destination device in order to determine the path of
communication between the two devices. Knowing this aids the administrator in making decisions
about fabric performance and problem resolution. FC Ping used in conjunction with FC Trace Route
gives the administrator a powerful tool to pinpoint fabric connectivity problems and diagnose
performance issues.
Digital Diagnostics Monitoring provides SFP and XPAK transceiver data and health status that SAN
administrators depend on. Increase uptime of the SAN by proactively monitoring the vitals of
transceivers. Set policies and trigger alarms based on power, temperature, voltage and current of
the transceiver. Predict potential failures or isolate existing problems in the fabric with this simple,
yet powerful, tool.
