Network manageability
The DC SAN Director has a single domain and is managed as a single element with the optional
Fabric Manager (FM) Graphical User Interface (GUI) application. The DC SAN Director responds to
its own IP address and appears as a separate entity to the Telnet protocol and SNMP.
All management interfaces, such as Telnet, Web Tools, standards compliant SMI-S, and Management
Server, support a “port N within blade M” naming scheme.
The DC SAN Director supports SNMPv1 and SNPMv3. When SNMP devices send SNMP messages
to a management console running SAN management software, the information is stored in a
Management Information Base (MIB). Fabric OS 6.x supports the latest Fibre Alliance Fibre Channel
Management (FCMGMT) and Storage Management Initiative (SMI) MIBs. These MIBs provide the
SAN administrator with information for monitoring the network. Refer to the Fabric OS MIB
ReferenceGuide.
