Element Manager Overview 16
• 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 IP addresses and corresponding community names for up to six workstations
functioning as SNMP trap message recipients. See the McDATA E/OS SNMP Support Manual
for more information.
This manual provides details on the Element Manager for the Director 2/64 and Director 2/140
products only. It provides instructions for using the Element Manager through the HAFM application.
Element Manager description
The Element Manager for the director products is a Java-based graphical user interface (GUI) that
provides in-depth management, configuration, and monitoring functions for individual directors and
their field-replaceable units (FRUs).
The Element Manager provides graphical views of director 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 the director on your network.
The server software for the HAFM and Element Manager comes installed on the HAFM appliance.
