    SNMP trap messages. The trap messages indicate operational state changes and failure conditions. NOTE: For more information about SNMP support provided by IBM products, refer to the E/OS SNMP Support Manual. Zoning feature The switch supports a name server zoning feature that partitions attached devices into restricted-access groups called zones.

Zoning is configured by authorizing or restricting access to name server information associated with device N_Ports that attach to switch fabric ports (F_Ports).
  • Page 40 • Zoning - In a multiswitch fabric, zoning is configured on a fabric-wide basis, and any change to the zoning configuration is applied to all switches in the fabric. To ensure zoning is consistent across a fabric, the following rules are enforced when two fabrics (zoned or unzoned) join: —...

    EFCM Basic interface The EFCM Basic interface provides a GUI accessed through the Internet (locally or remotely) to manage, monitor, and isolate problems for the Switch. When the interface opens, the default display is the View panel. Task selection tabs appear at the top of the panel, a graphical representation of the switch hardware (front and rear) appears at the right side of the panel, and menu selections (View, Configure, Monitor, Operations, and Help) appear at the left side of the panel.

    The fault isolation process normally begins with Map 000. Ensure the correct switch is selected for service (if the management server manages multiple switches or other IBM products) by enabling unit beaconing at the failed switch. The amber system error (ERR) LED on the switch front panel blinks when beaconing is enabled.
