Hardware Overview
Network manageability
The ED-DCX-4S-B has a single domain and is managed as a single
element with Connectrix Manager Data Center Edition (CMDCE).
The ED-DCX-4S-B responds to its own IP address and appears as a
separate entity to the Telnet protocol and SNMP.
All management interfaces, such as Telnet, Web Tools,
standards-compliant SMI-S, and Management Server, support a “port
N within blade M” naming scheme.
The ED-DCX-4S-B supports SNMPv1 and SNMPv3. When SNMP
devices send SNMP messages to a management console running
SAN management software, the information is stored in a
management information base (MIB). Fabric OS v6.2 supports the
latest Fibre Alliance Fibre Channel Management (FCMGMT) and
Storage Management Initiative (SMI) MIBs, which allow common
information necessary for management software to provide
information to a SAN administrator. Refer to the EMC Connectrix B
Series Fabric OS MIB Reference for additional MIB information.
