The management tools built into the Brocade 16Gb FC Switch Module (listed in Brocade 16Gb FC Switch Module management features) can be used to monitor fabric topology, port status, physical status, and other information used for performance analysis and system debugging.
When running IP over FC, these management tools must be run on both the Fibre Channel host and the switch, and must be supported by the FC host driver. For a list of FC hosts supported by the Brocade 16Gb FC Switch Module, contact your Hewlett Packard Enterprise representative.
| Management tool | Out-of-band support | In-band support |
|---|---|---|
| CLI—Run up to two admin sessions and four user sessions simultaneously. For more information, see the latest version of the Fabric OS Administrator Guide and the Fabric OS Command Reference Guide. | Ethernet or serial connection | IP over FC |
| Advanced Web Tools—For information, see the latest version of the Web Tools Administrator's Guide. | Ethernet connection | IP over FC |
| Standard SNMP applications—For information, see the latest version of the Fabric OS MIB reference guide. | Ethernet connection | IP over FC |
| Management Server—For more information, see the latest version of the Fabric OS Administrator Guide and the Fabric OS Command Reference Guide. | Ethernet connection | SMI-S compliant management program |
You can connect a management station to one switch with Ethernet while managing other switches connected to the first switch with FC. To do so, set the FC gateway address of each of the other switches to be managed to the FC IP address of the first switch.
The gateway address of the first switch should be set to whatever the gateway address is for the subnet on which the first switch resides. See Connecting with a management station.
| Connection type | Management station | First switch | Second switch | Third switch |
| Ethernet | 192.168.1.09 | 192.168.1.10 | 204.1.1.11 | 204.1.1.12 |
| FCIP | 192.168.65.09 | 192.168.65.10 | 192.168.65.11 | 192.168.65.12 |
