Administrative Settings

To configure administrative settings, use the Administration > Settings screen:

NOTE: AFM allows you to configure the SNMP configuration and CLI credentials before designing

and deploying the fabric. You cannot edit SNMP and CLI credentials settings during the run phase.

Active Link Settings

To display additional performance statistics in AFM using a Dell OpenManage Network Manager (OMNM)

server, use the Active Link Settings option. OMNM monitors and manages Dell network devices. It

automates common network management operations and provides advanced network element

discovery, remote configuration management, and system health monitoring to proactively alert network

administrators to potential network problems. OMNM provides SOAP-based web services to allow third-

party integration.

AFM provides view-only integration with the Dell OMNM web application. When you enable Active Link,

it displays another browser to view AFM performance statistics. For information about how to install and

configure OMNM, refer to http://www.dell.com/support/Manuals/us/en/555/Product/dell-openmanage-

network-manager. Refer to the release notes or the AFM Installation Guide for supported versions of

OMNM.

NOTE: Install the Dell OMNM software on a different server than AFM. To activate the performance

statics, log in to Dell OMNM web service directly using write permissions.
