Management features

The management tools built into the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch (listed in Table 8) can be used to monitor fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other information used for performance analysis and system debugging.

When running IP over FC, these management tools must be run on both the Fibre Channel host and the switch and must be supported by the Fibre Channel host driver. For a list of Fibre Channel hosts supported by the Cisco MDS 9124e Switch, contact your HP representative.
