Network manageability

The PowerConnect B-DCX-4S has a single domain and is managed as a single element with the
Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM). The PowerConnect B-DCX-4S 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 PowerConnect B-DCX-4S 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 Fabric OS MIB Reference for additional MIB information.
