InfiniBand devices on the fabric.
SNMP Support
Built-in support for Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) allows users to integrate a SFS 7012 into their existing management frameworks. SNMP allows users access to all statistics, trend analysis, alarm handling, filtering, and performance monitoring capabilities supported by these management frameworks.
SNMP MIBs
SNMP Management Information Bases (MIBs) are management elements that are used by industry frameworks to monitor information about the SFS 7012 switch. The SFS 7012 switch supports MIBs from the following sources:
•Switch-sourced MIBs: MIBs from the CMU of the SFS 7012 provide status information regarding the physical environment of the switch. Additionally, the CMU MIBs provide status and activity information for all line cards residing in the switch.
