Introduction
•FRUs provide on-board diagnostic and monitoring circuits that continuously report FRU status to the HAFM and Product Manager applications. These applications provide system alerts and logs that display failure and diagnostic information at the HAFM server or a remote workstation communicating with the HAFM server.
•The HAFM Services application that runs as a Windows 2000 service and provides an additional user interface to display operational status.
•The Embedded Web Server interface that provides Internet access to isolate problems for a single switch.
•Unsolicited SNMP trap messages that indicate operational state changes or failures can be transmitted to up to 12 authorized management workstations.
•E-mail messages or call-home reports provide automatic notification of significant system events to designated support personnel or administrators.
