McDATA® Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Fabric Switches Installation and Service Manual
General Information
In FICON management style, use the dialog box to enable
extended distance buffering for 10 to 100 km, link incident (LIN)
alerts, and port binding for each port.
In Open Systems management style, for each port you can
provide a name, block or unblock operation, configure extended
distance buffering for 10 to 100 km, enable LIN alerts for each
port, define a type (G, F, and E), and enable port binding.
NOTE: Ports are automatically configured as G_Ports if no device is
connected, F_Ports if a device is connected, and E_Ports if a switch is
connected.
In both styles, you can enable the rerouting delay feature.
Addresses
FICON management style only. Select from two suboptions for
active and stored addresses.
Active Addresses: Displays the Configure-Addresses - “Active”
dialog box. Use this dialog box to configure a name, blocked or
unblocked state, and prohibited and allowed connection
attributes for a port.
Stored Addresses: Displays the Address Configuration Library. Use
this dialog box to activate, modify, delete, and modify existing
address configurations created through the Active Addresses
dialog box.
SNMP Agent
Select 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
Select 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
