■ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
An SNMP agent is implemented through the Element Manager. It 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 for up to six workstations functioning as SNMP trap
message recipients. Refer to the HP StorageWorks SNMP Reference Guide for
Directors and Edge Switches for more information.
This manual provides details on the Element Manager for the Edge Switch 2/24

Element Manager Description
The Element Manager for Edge Switch products is a Java-based graphical user
interface (GUI) that provides in-depth management, configuration, and
monitoring functions for individual switches and their field-replaceable
units (FRUs).
The Element Manager provides graphical views of switch hardware components
and displays of component status. By positioning the mouse pointer on icons,
graphics, panels, and other visual elements in these views and clicking the left or
right mouse button, you can quickly manage and monitor switches on your
network.
The server software for the HAFM and Element Manager comes installed on the
HAFM appliance.
You can install the HAFM and Element Manager clients on remote computer
systems, as shown
Figure 1 on page 23. For instructions, refer to the section in HP
StorageWorks HA-Fabric Manager User Guide that pertains to the operating
system of your computer.
