Network manageability
The DC SAN Director has a single domain and is managed as a single element with the optional
FM GUI application. The DC SAN Director responds to its own IP address and appears as a
separate entity to the Telnet protocol and SNMP.
All management interfaces, such as Telnet, WebTools, standards compliant SMI-S, and Management
Server, support a port N within blade M naming scheme.
The DC SAN Director supports SNMPv1 and SNPMv3. When SNMP devices send SNMP messages
to a management console running SAN management software, the information is stored in an MIB.
Fabric OS 6.x supports the latest Fibre Alliance FCMGMT and SMI MIBs. These MIBs provide the
SAN administrator with information for monitoring the network. For more information, see the
Fabric OS MIB Reference Guide.
