SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N Management Features

Using any of the management tools built into the SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V or

2/16N listed in Table 13, you can monitor fabric topology, port status, physical

status, and other information used for performance analysis and system

debugging.

When running IP over Fibre Channel, these management tools must be run on

both HBA and switch and must be supported by both HBA and HBA driver. For a

list of HBAs supported by the SAN Switch 2/8V, 2/16V and 2/16N, contact your

HP representative.

A management station connected to one switch via Ethernet can also be used to

manage other switches connected to the first switch via Fibre Channel. To do so,

set the fibre channel gateway address of each of the other switches to be managed

to the Fibre Channel IP address of the first switch. The gateway address of the first

switch should be set to what ever the gateway address is for the subnet that the

first switch resides on.
