Product Management
• Management using simple network management protocol
(SNMP). An SNMP agent is implemented through the Element
Manager application that allows administrators on SNMP
management workstations to access product management
information using any standard network management tool.
Administrators can assign Internet protocol (IP) addresses and
corresponding community names as follows:
— For directors and fabric switches, up to six workstations can
be configured as SNMP trap message recipients.
— For SAN routers, up to eight workstations can be configured
as SNMP trap message originators and four workstations can
be configured as SNMP trap message recipients.
Refer to SNMP Management Workstations for information.
• With E/OSc, management of directors and fabric switches
through the Internet using the EFCM Basic Edition interface
installed on the product. This interface supports configuration,
statistics monitoring, and basic operation of the product, but does
not offer all the capabilities of a corresponding Element Manager
application. Administrators launch the EFCM Basic Edition
interface from a remote PC by entering the product’s IP address
as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL), then entering a
user name and password at a login screen. The PC browser then
becomes a management console.
NOTE: The Intrepid 10000 Director and SAN routers do not support
product management through the EFCM Basic Edition interface.
• Management of all products through a PC-based Telnet session
using the CLI. Any platform that supports Telnet client software
can be used.
• Management of directors and fabric switches through the EFC
Management applications (EFCM Lite) shipped on a CD and
installed on a customer-supplied server that meets minimum
hardware requirements and uses the Microsoft Windows
operating system. Contact your McDATA representative for the
requirements when ordering this option.
