Switch Operating Features
◆ Beaconing to assist service personnel in locating a specific port or 
switch. When port beaconing is enabled, the amber LED 
associated with the port flashes. When unit beaconing is enabled, 
the system error indicator on the front bezel flashes. Beaconing 
does not affect port or switch operation.
◆ SNMP management using the Fibre Alliance MIB that runs on the 
Connectrix service processor. Up to 12 authorized management 
workstations can be configured through the Connectrix Manager 
application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap 
messages indicate operational state changes and failure 
conditions.
◆ SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB 
(Version 2.0), TCP/IP MIB-II definition (RFC 1213), or a DS-32M2 
MIB that runs on each switch. Up to six authorized management 
workstations can be configured through the Product Manager 
application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap 
messages indicate operational state changes and failure 
conditions.
◆ Data collection through the Product Manager application to help 
isolate system problems. The data includes a memory dump file 
and audit, hardware, and engineering logs.
