FICON Management Server
NOTE: The FICON Management Server feature is available only for the Edge Switch 2/32. This
feature is not available on the Edge Switch 2/24.
The FICON Management Server is a keyed feature that allows host control and in-band
management of the switch through an IBM System/390 or zSeries 900 Parallel Enterprise Server
attached to a switch port. The server communicates with the switch through a FICON channel.
Control of connectivity and statistical product monitoring are provided through a console attached
to the host.
