Physical Planning Considerations 5 SANpilot Interface • 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. The SANpilot interface provides a graphical user interface (GUI) accessed through the Internet (locally or remotely) to manage a single director or switch. If the SANpilot 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: SANpilot interface access to SAN routers is not supported. 5-14 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
