Integrating Cisco Fabric Manager with Other Management Tools
Integrating Cisco Fabric Manager with Other Management
Tools
You can use Fabric Manager, Device Manager, and Performance Manager with these management tools:
• Cisco Traffic Analyzer—Allows you to break down traffic by VSANs and protocols and to examine
SCSI traffic at a logical unit number (LUN) level.
• Cisco Protocol Analyzer—Enables you to examine actual sequences of Fibre Channel frames
easily using the Fibre Channel and SCSI decoders Cisco developed for Ethereal.
• Cisco Port Analyzer Adapter 2—Encapsulates SPAN traffic (both Fibre Channel control and data
plane traffic) in an Ethernet header for transport to a Windows PC or workstation for analysis. Both
the Cisco Traffic Analyzer and Cisco Protocol Analyzer require the PAA to transport MDS SPAN
traffic to a Windows PC or workstation.
For more information on these tools and how they work together with the Cisco Fabric Manager
management applications, see
Chapter 66, “Troubleshooting Your Fabric.”
Running Fabric Manager Behind a Firewall
For Windows PCs running Fabric Manager, Device Manager, and Performance Manager behind a
firewall, certain ports need to be available.
By default, Fabric Manager Client and Device Manager use the first available UDP port for sending and
receiving SNMP responses. The UDP SNMP trap local ports are 1162 for Fabric Manager, and 1163 or
1164 for Device Manager. Fabric Manager Server also opens TCP RMI port 9099.
In Fabric Manager Release 2.1(2) or later, you can select the UDP port that Fabric Manager Client or
Device Manager uses for SNMP responses by uncommenting the following statement:
3.2(x) 3.3(1a) or above 1. Upgrade to 3.3(x) or above by launching the
update installer{java –Xmx512m –jar
jar_file_name} and then follow the steps to
upgrade Fabric Manager.
Note Change the server port to 9099 if you are
not upgrading from Release 3.2(2c).
3.3(x) NX-OS 4.1(1b) 1. Upgrade to 4.1(x) or above by launching the
update installer {java –Xmx512m –jar
jar_file_name} and then follow the steps to
upgrade Fabric Manager.
Note Change the server port to 9099 if you are
not upgrading from Release 3.4(x).
1. The gateway upgrade needs to be performed as the HSQL database data cannot be migrated to the new database.
