General Information

General Information

• A modular design that enables quick removal and replacement of

FRUs without the use of tools or equipment.

• System alerts and logs that display switch and Fibre Channel link

status at the EFCM Basic Edition interface.

• Diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs)

and port diagnostics (loopback tests).

• An RS-232 maintenance port at the rear of the switch (port

access is password protected) that enables installation or service

personnel to change the switch’s IP address, subnet mask, and

gateway address.

These parameters can also be changed through a Telnet session,

access for which is provided through a local or remote PC with an

Internet connection to the switch.

• Data collection through the EFCM Basic Edition interface to help

isolate system problems. The data includes a memory dump file

and audit, hardware, and engineering logs.

• 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 panel flashes. Beaconing

does not affect port or switch operation.

• SNMP management using the Fibre Channel Fabric Element MIB,

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) MIB-II

definition (RFC 1157), or a product-specific private enterprise

MIB that runs on the switch. Up to six authorized management

workstations can be configured through the EFCM Basic Edition

interface to receive unsolicited SNMP trap messages. The trap

messages indicate product operational state changes and failure

conditions.
