• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the switch (port access is password-protected) that
enables installation or service personnel to change the switch's IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway address.
These parameters can also be changed through a Telnet session, access for which is provided
through a local or remote PC with an Internet connection to the switch.
• Data collection through the EWS interface or Element Manager of the HAFM applications to
help isolate system problems. The data includes a memory dump file and audit, hardware, and
engineering logs.
• Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or switch. When port beaconing
is enabled, the amber LED associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled,
the system error indicator on the front panel flashes. Beaconing does not affect port or switch
operation.
• Automatic notification of significant system events (to support personnel or administrators)
through e-mail messages or the call-home feature.
• SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (v3.1), TCP/IP MIB-II definition
(RFC 1213), or a product-specific MIB that runs on the switch. Up to six authorized management
workstations can be configured through the EWS interface and Element Manager to receive
unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate product operational state changes
and failure conditions.
• Optional SNMP management using the Fibre Alliance MIB that runs on the HAFM appliance.
Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be configured through the HAFM server to
receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes
and failure conditions.
NOTE: For more information about SNMP support provided by Hewlett-Packard products,
refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP reference guide for directors and edge switches.
