Physical Planning Considerations

segment is optional and depends on customer requirements. This type of
network configuration using both Ethernet connections is shown in Figure 56.
Director 2/64s are used as an example.
Although this dual Ethernet connection is supported by HP, it is not OV-SNM
compatible, requires installation of an additional PCMCIA LAN adapter card
(not supplied by HP), and is not the recommended configuration for a typical
new HP installation at a customer site.

SNMP Management Workstations
An SNMP agent that runs on the HAFM appliance can be configured through the
HAFM application. This agent implements version 3.1 of the Fibre Alliance
management information base (MIB). The agent can be configured to send SNMP
trap messages to up to 12 recipients. In addition, there is a separate SNMP agent
that runs on each director or switch that is configured through the Element
Manager application. This agent implements the following MIBs:
