Physical Planning Considerations
144 SAN High Availability Planning Guide
■ A subset of the standard transmission control protocol/internet protocol
(TCP/IP) MIB-II definition (RFC1213).
■ The director or switch-specific private enterprise MIB.
The director or switch SNMP agent can be configured to send trap messages to up
to six recipients. SNMP management is intended only for product monitoring;
therefore, the default state of all MIB variables is read-only. When installed on a
customer intranet, workstations communicate with directors and switches through
the HAFM appliance.
Web Browser Access
The Embedded Web Server interface provides a graphical user interface (GUI)
accessed through the Internet (locally or remotely) to manage a single director or
switch. If the Embedded Web Server interface is to be implemented:
■ Plan for an Internet connection to the LAN segment on which the product is
installed. The LAN connection is provided through the customer’s intranet.
■ Ensure that adequate security measures are implemented to preclude
unauthorized access to managed products. Ensure that IP addresses (uniform
resource locators [URLs] for Internet access) of managed products,
usernames, and passwords are tightly controlled.
