#5: VC users cannot leverage existing network management tools (for example, CiscoWorks) Incorrect: Virtual Connect supports configuration scripting via a CLI interface (SSH) and Virtual Connect supports monitoring using SNMP. Any management tools that support CLI scripting can be used to remotely configure Virtual Connect. Any management tool that supports SNMP can be used to monitor Virtual Connect. VC Ethernet supports applicable groups within the following MIBs: Table 1. Supported SNMP MIBs MIB RFC 2863 IF-MIB RFC 4188 Bridge-MIB RFC 3418 SNMP v2 MIB Compaq System Info MIB Compaq Host MIB Compaq Rack MIB Network Mgmt IP-MIB Fibre Alliance MIB (FC Mgmt Integ) Fabric Element MIB VC Module MIB (VCM-MIB) VC Domain MIB (VCD-MIB) VC-Enet X X X X X ― X X ― ― X X VC-FC ― ― X X X X3 ― ― X X ― ― In addition to local statistics and SNMP polling of statistics, VC provides SNMP traps for events that cause VC Domain status changes. Detailed alerts regarding VC Domain changes are reported and logged by syslog. For additional details on the supported MIBs and traps, please refer to the Virtual Connect User Guide for the appropriate firmware version in use. #6: VC doesn't provide secure external management Incorrect: Virtual Connect provides SSH (CLI) and SSL (Web GUI) support for secure remote management. VC also supports Secure LDAP (for example, Microsoft Active Directory and OpenLDAP) for centralized user management. Virtual Connect does not support RADIUS or TACACS+. #7: VC Ethernet doesn't support Private VLANs Incorrect: As of VC firmware version 1.31, Virtual Connect provides Private VLAN support. The VC feature is called "Private Networks". See the VC firmware version 1.31 or greater User Guide for more details. In addition to VC's own support for Private Networks (Private VLANs), VC can also be configured to extend the Private VLAN configuration from external switches. For additional information, see the section entitled "ACLs, VLAN ACLs and Private VLANs" of the whitepaper "Virtual Connect for the Cisco Network Administrator". 3 Not Supported by the HP 8Gb 24-Port FC module 8
