SNMP Management Workstations
An SNMP agent that runs on the HAFM server can be configured through the
HAFM application. This agent implements Version 3.1 of the Fibre Alliance
management information base (MIB). The agent can be configured to send SNMP
trap messages to up to 12 recipients. In addition, there is a separate SNMP agent
that runs on each director or switch that is configured through the Product
Manager application. This agent implements the following MIBs:
■ The Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB (Version 3.1).
■ A subset of the standard transmission control protocol/internet protocol
(TCP/IP) MIB-II definition (RFC1213).
■ The director or switch-specific private enterprise MIB.
The director or switch SNMP agent can be configured to send trap messages to up
to six recipients. SNMP management is only intended for product monitoring;
therefore, the default state of all MIB variables is read-only. When installed on a
customer intranet, workstations communicate with directors and switches through
the HAFM server.
Web Browser Access
The Embedded Web Server interface provides a graphical user interface (GUI)
accessed through the Internet (locally or remotely) to manage a single director or
switch. If the Embedded Web Server interface is to be implemented:
■ Plan for an Internet connection to the LAN segment on which the product is
installed. The LAN connection is provided through the customer’s intranet.
■ Ensure adequate security measures are implemented to preclude unauthorized
access to managed products. Ensure IP addresses (uniform resource locators
[URLs] for Internet access) of managed products, usernames, and passwords
are tightly controlled.
