• "Telnet" on page 30 • "Advanced Web Tools" on page 30 • "SNMP-Based enterprise managers" on page 30 • "Configuration file" on page 32 Telnet Use a telnet session to: • Observe the current monitors on a switch with the fwShow command. • Query and modify threshold and alarm configurations (whether default or customized) with the fwConfigure command. • View and configure the FRU module with the fwFruCfg command. • View and configure the e-mail addresses to which event messages are sent with the fwMailCfg command. To establish a telnet session, use the following command, where switch represents the name or IP address of the switch: telnet switch When this command is executed, you are prompted for a username and password. To use Fabric Watch, connect using an account with administrative privileges. Advanced Web Tools Use Web Tools to: • View fabric and switch events. • View and modify threshold and alarm configurations with the Fabric Watch View. • Upload and download the configuration file with the Config Admin tab. • View and configure the FRU module. • View and configure the e-mail addresses to which event messages are sent. To create a connection to Fabric Watch using Web Tools: 1. Open a Web browser. 2. Enter the IP address of the switch into the address field of the Web browser. The Web browser should display a screen that includes a window similar to the following: 3. To access Fabric Watch View, click the Watch button in this portion of the screen, which appears: 4. When the login window appears, log in as admin. SNMP-Based enterprise managers Use SNMP-based enterprise managers to: • Query the MIB variable for individual fabric and switch elements. • Query and modify threshold and alarm configurations. 30 Activating and accessing Fabric Watch
