Software diagnostics
The switch provides the following diagnostic software features that aid in fault isolation and repair 
of problems:
• FRUs provide on-board diagnostic and monitoring circuits that continuously report FRU status to 
the EWS, and HAFM applications. These applications provide system alerts and logs that 
display failure and diagnostic information at the HAFM appliance or a remote workstation 
communicating with the HAFM appliance.
• The HAFM Services application that runs as a Windows service and provides an additional user 
interface to display operational status.
• The EWS interface that provides Ethernet access to isolate problems for a single switch.
• Unsolicited SNMP trap messages that indicate operational state changes or failures can be 
transmitted to up to 12 authorized management workstations on an HAFM appliance, and up to 
6 authorized management workstations on an edge switch or director.
• E-mail messages or call-home reports that provide automatic notification of significant system 
events to designated support personnel or administrators.
