Overview Web Tools management is available via a secure browser using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP connection. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and Web servers, installing a digital certificate turns on the SSL capabilities. Network Manageability The SAN Director 2/128 is managed as a single element and appears as a single element to a Network Management System (NMS). The director responds to its own IP address and appears as a separate entity to the Telnet protocol and SNMP. The management interfaces include blade assemblies as intermediate components between switches and ports. In addition, all management interfaces, such as telnet, Web Tools, the Fabric Access Layer API, and Management Server, support a "port N within blade M" naming scheme. When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running SAN management software, the information is stored in a management information base (MIB). Fabric OS v4.2.x supports the latest Fibre Alliance Fibre Channel Management (FCMGMT) and Storage Management Initiative (SMI) MIBs, which allow common information necessary for management software to provide information to a SAN administrator.

SAN Director 2/128 Installation Guide
Web Tools management is available via a secure browser using Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL). The SSL security protocol provides data encryption, server
authentication, message integrity, and optional client authentication for a TCP/IP
connection. Because SSL is built into all major browsers and Web servers,
installing a digital certificate turns on the SSL capabilities.
Network Manageability
The SAN Director 2/128 is managed as a single element and appears as a single
element to a Network Management System (NMS). The director responds to its
own IP address and appears as a separate entity to the Telnet protocol and SNMP.
The management interfaces include blade assemblies as intermediate components
between switches and ports. In addition, all management interfaces, such as telnet,
Web Tools, the Fabric Access Layer API, and Management Server, support a “port
N within blade M” naming scheme.
When SNMP devices send SNMP messages to a management console running
SAN management software, the information is stored in a management
information base (MIB). Fabric OS v4.2.x supports the latest Fibre Alliance Fibre
Channel Management (FCMGMT) and Storage Management Initiative (SMI)
MIBs, which allow common information necessary for management software to
provide information to a SAN administrator.
Note:
Refer to the
HP StorageWorks MIB 4.2.x Reference Guide
for additional MIB
information.
