Introduction to McDATA Multi-Protocol Products 1 - VLAN Bridge MIB Module (Q-BRIDGE-MIB) - This MIB defines objects to manage virtual local area network (VLAN) bridging enhancements defined by IEEE 802.1Q-1998. - RFC 1213 - MIB-II - This MIB defines managed objects for the Internet community. - RFC 1354 - IP Forwarding Table - This MIB defines objects that manage IP-based Internet routing. - RFC 1493 - Definitions of Managed Objects for Bridges This MIB defines objects that manage media access control (MAC) bridges between standard LAN segments. - RFC 1757 - Remote Network Monitoring MIB - This MIB defines objects that manage remote network monitoring devices. - RFC 2851 - Textual Conventions for Internet Network Addresses - This MIB defines text conventions that represent commonly used Internet network layer address information. - Product-specific private enterprise MIB - A variety of product-specific proprietary MIBs run on each router and contain management objects to support multi-protocol router functions. • Advanced fabric diagnostic features that include: - ISL port fencing - Any ISL that bounces (repeatedly attempts to establish a connection) causes disruptive fabric rebuilds. ISL fencing establishes a user-defined bounce threshold that when reached, automatically blocks the disruptive E_Port. - Digital SFP diagnostic support - This feature provides access to predictive optics monitoring (POM) diagnostic data generated by newer SFP optical transceivers. The data includes temperature, transmit and receive power, and supply voltage. - Embedded port log - This log records all Fibre Channel traffic sourced from or delivered to a switch's embedded port. Log contents assist in fault diagnosis of SAN traffic problems. - Embedded fabric log - This log records events associated with the fabric controller, path selection, login server, and name server. Log contents assist in fault diagnosis of fabric problems. 1-36 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
