McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
Product Management
Ethernet Hub
The management server and managed directors, fabric switches,
and SAN routers connect through a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet hub.
Figure 2-4 illustrates the 24-port hub.

Figure 2-4 24-Port Ethernet Hub
Hubs can be daisy-chained to provide connections as additional
McDATA managed products are installed on a network. Multiple
hubs are daisy-chained by attaching RJ-45 Ethernet patch cables to
the appropriate hub ports and configuring each hub through a
medium-dependent interface (MDI) switch.
Remote User
Workstations
Operators at remote workstations with client SAN management
(SANavigator 4.2 or EFCM 8.6) and Element Manager applications
installed can connect to the management server to manage and
monitor all products controlled by the server. A maximum of 25
concurrent users can log in to the SAN management application.
NOTE: The SANvergence Manager application does not support remote
workstation (client) operation.
Client SAN management and Element Manager applications
download and install to remote workstations (from the management
server) using a standard web browser. The applications operate on
platforms that meet the following minimum system requirements:
• Desktop or notebook PC with color monitor, keyboard, and
mouse, using an Intel Pentium III processor with 700 MHz or
greater clock speed, and using the Microsoft Windows
2000 (with
service pack 4), Windows NT 4.0 (with service pack 6a), or
Windows
2003 operating system.
