Managing the SAN Switch 2/8
Management Overview
The SAN Switch 2/8 can be managed using TCP/IP protocol, in-band over Fibre Channel, or out-of-band by connecting to the Ethernet port. The management functions allow the administrator to monitor fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other information to aid in system debugging and performance analysis.
The SAN Switch 2/8 is compatible with the following management interfaces:
■CLI via a telnet or serial connection—For more information refer to the hp StorageWorks Fabric OS V3.0.x/V4.0.x Procedures Guide, and the hp StorageWorks Fabric OS V3.0.x/V4.0.x Reference Guide.
■Standard SNMP applications—For more information refer to the hp StorageWorks MIB V3.0.x/V4.0.x Reference Guide.
■Web Tools—Provides an easy-to-use GUI, allowing the SAN administrator to monitor and manage entire fabrics and individual switches and ports from a standard workstation. Provides you with the advantage of being “virtually” in front of any fabric, switch, or port. For more information refer to the hp StorageWorks Web Tools V3.0.x/V4.0.x User Guide.
