Product Manager Overview
SNMP Agent
Choose this option to display the Configure SNMP dialog box. Use this dialog
box to configure network addresses and community names for up to six SNMP
trap recipients. Also authorize write permissions to enable SNMP management
stations to modify writable MIB variables. In addition, you can enable
authorization traps to be sent to management stations when unauthorized stations
request access to Switch SNMP data.
Management Server
Choose this option to display either the Configure Open Systems Management
Server or Configure FICON Management Server dialog box, depending on
which feature (if any) is enabled for the Switch. Use this to configure a FICON or
open systems inband management program to function with the Switch. To use
these procedures, you must have enabled either FICON Management Server or
Open Systems Management Server through the Configure Feature Key dialog
box.
Features
Displays the Configure Feature Key dialog box. Use this dialog box to enter a
feature key to enable optional features that you have purchased for the Switch.
Date and Time
Choose this option to display the Configure Date and Time dialog box. Use this
option to set the current date and time in the Switch. When the Periodic
Date/Time Synchronization check box is checked, the Date and Time fields are
greyed out (disabled), and the HAFM server date and time periodically
synchronizes the Switch date and time. If the Periodic Date/Time
Synchronization check box is not checked, you can set the date and time in the
dialog box fields manually.
Threshold Alert(s)
Choose this option to configure threshold alerts for ports. A threshold alert
notifies users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified
values for specific Switch ports or port types (E_Ports or F_Ports). Using this
option, you can configure:
• A name for the alert.
• A threshold type for the alert (Rx, Tx, or either).
