Interfaces for activating Fabric Watch
This section provides a brief overview of the available user interfaces for activating Fabric Watch.
Further details about Fabric Watch operations for each interface are provided later in this guide.
•
Telnet session—Provides a command prompt where you can run Fabric OS commands to
configure your switch monitoring settings. See
“Activating Fabric Watch using a Telnet session”
for instructions on how to activate Fabric Watch using a Telnet session.
•
SNMP—Provides a receiver dedicated to monitoring the data center infrastructure; Brocade
switches and directors enable monitoring of specific incidents and trigger an SNMP alert
based on a user-defined threshold sending the alert to the dedicated SNMP trap receiver.
Configuring SNMP threshold alerts for Fabric OS switches requires using Web Tools to set up
SNMP on the Fabric OS switch. See
“Activating Fabric Watch using SNMP”
on page 24 for
instructions on how to set up SNMP.
•
Web Tools—Provides a graphical user interface that can be launched from an Internet browser,
which allows you to launch a Fabric Watch window to configure switch monitoring settings.
Using Web Tools, you can configure thresholds, alarms, and e-mail notifications. See
9, “Fabric Watch Configuration Using Web Tools”
for instructions on how to configure Fabric
Watch using the Web Tools GUI.
