McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
Introduction to McDATA Multi-Protocol Products
— VLAN Bridge MIB Module (Q-BRIDGE-MIB) - This MIB
defines objects to manage virtual local area network (VLAN)
bridging enhancements defined by IEEE 802.1Q-1998.
— RFC 1213 - MIB-II - This MIB defines managed objects for the
Internet community.
— RFC 1354 - IP Forwarding Table - This MIB defines objects
that manage IP-based Internet routing.
— RFC 1493 - Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges -
This MIB defines objects that manage media access control
(MAC) bridges between standard LAN segments.
— RFC 1757 - Remote Network Monitoring MIB - This MIB
defines objects that manage remote network monitoring
devices.
— RFC 2851 - Textual Conventions for Internet Network
Addresses - This MIB defines text conventions that represent
commonly used Internet network layer address information.
— Product-specific private enterprise MIB - A variety of
product-specific proprietary MIBs run on each router and
contain management objects to support multi-protocol router
functions.
• Advanced fabric diagnostic features that include:
— ISL port fencing - Any ISL that bounces (repeatedly attempts
to establish a connection) causes disruptive fabric rebuilds.
ISL fencing establishes a user-defined bounce threshold that
when reached, automatically blocks the disruptive E_Port.
— Digital SFP diagnostic support - This feature provides access
to predictive optics monitoring (POM) diagnostic data
generated by newer SFP optical transceivers. The data
includes temperature, transmit and receive power, and
supply voltage.
— Embedded port log - This log records all Fibre Channel traffic
sourced from or delivered to a switch’s embedded port. Log
contents assist in fault diagnosis of SAN traffic problems.
— Embedded fabric log - This log records events associated
with the fabric controller, path selection, login server, and
name server. Log contents assist in fault diagnosis of fabric
problems.
