Monitoring your switch with NetCentral
You can use NetCentral, a Grass Valley SNMP Manager, to monitor the state of your
Fibre Channel switch. The information presented in NetCentral allows you to verify
the normal operation of your switch. NetCentral can also alert you immediately when
problems occur.
Before you can monitor a QLogic 5202 SANbox Switch, you must prepare the
NetCentral system. Refer to the NetCentral User Guide and the NetCentral Release
Notes to do the following:
• Set up the NetCentral system.
• Install the SANbox Fibre Channel Switch device provider on the NetCentral server
PC. The device provider is a NetCentral component that acts as a plug-in to the
NetCentral manager software. The device provider enables the QLogic 5202
SANbox Switch to be monitored by NetCentral.
Once you have the device provider installed on the NetCentral system, refer to the
NetCentral
Help menu for device provider documentation specific to the QLogic 5202
SANbox Switch. This documentation guides you through the remaining set up and
configuration tasks and provides instructions for using NetCentral to monitor the
QLogic 5202 SANbox Switch.

Hyperterminal through an RS-232 connection to enter access the Command Line
Interface.
