Network Management Overview
This chapter provides an overview about the Compaq Storage Hub 12
Management Utilities and how they interact with the different parts of the
storage area network system. The following topics are detailed in this chapter:
±
Storage Area Management (SAN)
±
Compaq Storage Hub 12 Management Utilities (HMU)
±
Managed Devices
±
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
±
Setting Community Names in SNMP
±
Proxy Master

Loop Initialization Primitive (LIP)
Compaq Storage Hub 12 Management
Module (HMM)
The HMM provides extensive configuration data, environmental status, and
device control at the port level through the Hub 12 Management Utilities.
These utilities enable communication between an entire network of devices
with a single Ethernet connection and one Simple Network Management
Protocol (SNMP) management station (see the section, “Simple Network
Management Protocol”). The interactions are accomplished using the Inter-
Hub Communication Interface, an out-of-band management protocol
transmitted over the Fibre Channel cables. Information gathered in this process
