McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual

Physical Planning Considerations

• Up to 12 authorized management workstations can be configured

through the director or fabric switch SAN management

application to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages that

indicate product operational state changes and failure conditions.

• Up to eight authorized management workstations can be

configured through a SAN router Element Manager application

to send SNMP trap messages that indicate product operational

state changes and failure conditions.

In addition, there is a separate SNMP agent that runs on each

director, fabric switch, or SAN router (configured through the

associated Element Manager application). The director or switch

SNMP agent can be configured to send unsolicited SNMP trap

messages to up to six recipients. The SAN router SNMP agent can be

configured to send unsolicited SNMP trap messages to up to four

recipients.

SNMP management is only intended for product monitoring;

therefore, the default state of all MIB variables is read-only. If

installed on a dedicated LAN, SNMP management workstations

communicate directly with all managed products. If installed on a

customer intranet, workstations communicate with managed

products through the management server.

EFCM Basic Edition

Interface

The EFCM Basic Edition interface provides a graphical user interface

(GUI) accessed through the Internet (locally or remotely) to manage a

single director or switch. If the EFCM Basic Edition interface is to be

implemented:

• Plan for an Internet connection to the LAN segment on which

the product is installed. The LAN connection is provided through

the optional McDATA-supplied Ethernet hub or the corporate

intranet.

• Ensure adequate security measures are implemented to preclude

unauthorized access to managed products. Ensure IP addresses

(uniform resource locators (URLs) for Internet access) of managed

products, usernames, and passwords are tightly controlled.

NOTE: EFCM Basic Edition interface access to the Intrepid 10000 Director

and SAN routers is not supported.
