Gateway is not displayed in the Topology. HP recommends that you disable F_Port trunking on the switch before connecting it to the Access Gateway. VMware firewall settings may require HCM agent to be restarted If the firewall settings on port 514 changed in VMware, the HCM Agent must be restarted. VMware (ESX 3.5 & 4) blocks the Syslog outgoing port 514 by default. If you are using a Syslog Host configuration or HCM as part of DCFM, the firewall must be configured to allow outgoing port 514 for Syslog. Use the command esxcfgfirewall -o 514,udp,out,syslog to open port 514 and the command esxcfgfirewall -c 514,udp,out,syslog to block outgoing traffic through port 514.

VMware firewall settings may require HCM agent to be restarted
If the firewall settings on port 514 changed in VMware, the HCM Agent must be restarted. VMware
(ESX 3.5 & 4) blocks the Syslog outgoing port 514 by default. If you are using a Syslog Host
configuration or HCM as part of DCFM, the firewall must be configured to allow outgoing port 514
for Syslog.
Use the command
esxcfgfirewall -o 514,udp,out,syslog
to open port 514 and the
command
esxcfgfirewall -c 514,udp,out,syslog
to block outgoing traffic through port
514.

In this situation, to manage the fabric with EOS as the seed switch:

2.

3.
Discover the Pure EOS Fabric by providing the EOS seed switch IP address.
Failover (that is, when the seed switch is not reachable, falling back to another switch as seed switch)
can occur in the following cases:
•
Fabric OS to Fabric OS switches
•
EOS to EOS switches
•
EOS to Fabric OS switches
•
