Product Management 2 • Management using simple network management protocol (SNMP). An SNMP agent is implemented through the Element Manager application that 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 as follows: - For directors and fabric switches, up to six workstations can be configured as SNMP trap message recipients. - For SAN routers, up to eight workstations can be configured as SNMP trap message originators and four workstations can be configured as SNMP trap message recipients. Refer to SNMP Management Workstations for information. • With E/OSc, management of directors and fabric switches through the Internet using the EFCM Basic Edition interface installed on the product. This interface supports configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation of the product, but does not offer all the capabilities of a corresponding Element Manager application. Administrators launch the EFCM Basic Edition 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. NOTE: The Intrepid 10000 Director and SAN routers do not support product management through the EFCM Basic Edition interface. • Management of all products through a PC-based Telnet session using the CLI. Any platform that supports Telnet client software can be used. • Management of directors and fabric switches through the EFC Management applications (EFCM Lite) shipped on a CD and installed on a customer-supplied server that meets minimum hardware requirements and uses the Microsoft Windows operating system.
