Switch Operating Features
Connectrix Service Processor
The Connectrix service processor is a notebook PC that provides a
central point of control for up to 48 LAN-connected Connectrix
Switches and/or Directors. The service processor is mounted inside
the front door of the EC-1200 cabinet.
Installation, configuration, and management of the switch requires
either a Connectrix service processor or Internet access to the
Embedded Web Server in the DS-32M2.
EMC recommends using the Connectrix Manager to manage the switch.
The Connectrix service processor is dedicated to operation of the
Connectrix Manager and Product Manager applications, which
provide a graphical user interface (GUI) to monitor and manage
Connectrix products. Refer to the Product Manager Overview on
page 3-2 for additional information about the Connectrix Manager
and Product Manager applications.
The Connectrix service processor and Connectrix Manager
application are a dedicated hardware and software solution that
should not be used for other tasks. EMC tests the Connectrix
Manager application installed on the Connectrix service processor,
but does not test other third-party software for compatibility .
Modifications to the Connectrix service processor hardware or
installation of additional software (including patches or service
packs) may interfere with normal operation.
Embedded Web
Server
Using a browser-capable PC with an internet connection to the
switch, you can monitor and manage the switch through the Web
Server interface embedded in the switch firmware. The interface
provides a GUI similar to the Product Manager application, and
supports switch configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic
operation.
Refer to Appendix C for detailed information on configuring the
switch from the Web Server.
