Director Management
1-19
General Information
• Simple network management protocol (SNMP). An SNMP agent
is implemented through the SAN management application that
allows administrators on SNMP management workstations to
access director management information using any standard
network management tool. Administrators can assign internet
protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for
up to 12 SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message
recipients. Refer to the McDATA SNMP Support Manual
(620-000131).
• Command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access
many SAN management functions while entering commands
during a telnet session with the director. The primary purpose of
the CLIis toautomate management of alarge numberof directors
using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no checking
is done for pre-existing conditions and no prompts display to
guide users through tasks. Refer to the McDATA Command Line
Interface User Manual (620-000134).
