Monitoring your switch with NetCentral

You can use NetCentral, a Grass Valley SNMP Manager, to monitor the state of your Fibre Channel switch. The information presented in NetCentral allows you to verify the normal operation of your switch and to detect any problems that may occur. If you set one or more appropriate SNMP trap destination addresses on your switch, you can also be alerted immediately when problems occur on the switch.

The following sections describe how to configure your switch for operation with NetCentral, and provide a brief guide on how to troubleshoot switch problems using NetCentral. Please refer to the NetCentral User Guide for information on how to install and use NetCentral.
