Element Manager overview 24
Ports
Select this option to display the Configure Ports dialog box. For each port you can provide a name,
block or unblock operation, enable LIN alerts, enable Fabric Address Notification (FAN), define a
type (G, F, E, Gx, and Fx), configure Port Binding, define port speed, and enable Port Binding.
NOTE: Ports are automatically configured as G_Ports if no device is connected, F_Ports if a device
is connected, E_Ports if a switch is connected, and FL_Port if connected to a loop device.
SNMP agent
Select this option to display the Configure SNMP dialog box. Use this dialog box to configure
network addresses and community names for up to six SNMP trap recipients. You can also
authorize write permissions to enable SNMP management stations to modify writable Management
Information Base (MIB) variables. In addition, you can enable authorization traps to be sent to
management stations when unauthorized stations request access to switch SNMP data.
Management server
Edge Switch 2/32 only. Select this option to display the Configure Open Systems Management
Server dialog box. This dialog box will only display if the Open Systems Management Server
feature is enabled for the switch. (This feature allows you to manage switches without using the
HAFM application.) Use this menu option to configure an open systems inband management
program to function with the switch.
NOTE: To use these procedures, you must have enabled the Open Systems Management Server
through the Configure Feature Key dialog box. See ” Configuring a feature key” on page 104 for
more information.
Features
Select this option to display the Configure Feature Key dialog box. Use this dialog box to enter a
feature key to enable optional features that you have purchased for the switch. See ” Configuring a
feature key” on page 104 for more information.
Date and time
Select this option to display the Configure Date and Time dialog box. Use this dialog box to set the
current date and time in the switch. When the Periodic Date/Time Synchronization check
box is checked, the Date and Time fields are grayed out (disabled), and the switch date and
time are periodically synchronized with the HAFM appliance date and time. If the Periodic
Date/Time Synchronization check box is not checked, you can set the date and time in the
dialog box fields manually.
Threshold alerts
Select this option to configure threshold alerts for ports. A threshold alert notifies users when the
transmit (Tx) or receive (Rx) throughput reaches specified values for specific switch ports or port
types (E_Ports F_Ports, or FL_Ports).
