Introduction and General Information Besides the HAFM and Product Managers on the HAFM server, out-of-band (non-Fibre Channel) management access to HP products is provided through the following: ■ Management using simple network management protocol (SNMP). An SNMP agent is implemented through the HAFM application, which allows administrators on SNMP management workstations to access product management information using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up to six SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients. ■ Management through the Internet using the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface installed on the director or switch. This interface supports configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation of the product, but does not offer all the capabilities of the corresponding Product Manager application. Administrators launch the web server interface from a remote PC by entering the product's IP address as the Internet uniform resource locator (URL), then entering a user name and password at a login screen. The PC browser then becomes a management console. ■ Management through a PC-based Telnet session using the command line interface (CLI). Any platform that supports Telnet client software can be used. Figure 1 illustrates an example of out-of-band product management. In the figure, the managed product is a Director 2/64. The "customer intranet" could be as simple as an HP Ethernet hub to connect these devices. 26 High Availability Fabric Manager User Guide
