Director 2/64 Installation Guide
Features
Features of the Director 2/64 include:
Scalable from 32 to 64 User ports (with optional UPM 2 Gb add-on)
100% dynamic non-blocking, cut through switching with congestion queuing
Online error detection, error isolation, and error recovery

Director Management
The director is managed and controlled through:
The
HAFM
application. This graphical user interface (GUI) resides on the
HAFM server and provides a single point of management for all directors, and
a launching point for the Director 2/64
Product Manager
application.
Simple network management protocol (SNMP). A SNMP agent is
implemented through the
HAFM
application that allows administrators on
SNMP management workstations to access director management information
using any standard network management tool. Administrators can assign
internet protocol (IP) addresses and corresponding community names for up
to 12 SNMP workstations functioning as SNMP trap message recipients.
Refer to the
HP StorageWorks SNMP Reference Guide for Directors and
Edge Switches
for more information.
The Internet using the Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface installed on the
director. This interface supports configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic
operation of the director, but does not offer all the capabilities of the Director
2/64
Product Manager
application. Administrators launch the EWS interface
