Introduction to McDATA Multi-Protocol Products 1 • LEDs provide visual indicators of hardware status or malfunctions. LEDs are provided on FRUs, operator panels, front panels, and bezels. • System alerts, event logs, audit logs, link incident logs, and hardware logs display the following director and fabric switch information at the management server or remote workstations: - Director status. - Fabric switch status. - Ethernet link status. - Fibre Channel link status. In addition, threshold alerts and a threshold alert log notify users when the transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches a specified value for configured ports. • System alerts, system logs, message logs, SAN reports, and product reports display the following SAN router information at the management server or remote workstations: - SAN router status. - Port connectivity status. In addition, port statistics, traffic, and compression dialog boxes provide Tx or Rx status for configured ports. • Product diagnostic software that performs power-on self-tests (POSTs), and director and fabric switch software that performs port diagnostics (internal and external loopback tests). NOTE: SAN routers do not support loopback testing. • Directors and fabric switches (except the Sphereon 4300 and Sphereon 4500 Switches), can perform a diagnostic Fibre Channel (FC) wrap test. The FC wrap test applies only when a director or switch is operated using the FICON management style. NOTE: Sphereon 4300 and 4500 Fabric Switches do not support operation using the FICON management style. 1-30 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
