1–10 edge switch 2/32 installation guide
Introduction
• FRUs provide on-board diagnostic and monitoring circuits that continuously
report FRU status to the HAFM and Product Manager applications. These
applications provide system alerts and logs that display failure and diagnostic
information at the HAFM server or a remote workstation communicating with the
HAFM server.
• The HAFM Services application that runs as a Windows 2000 service and
provides an additional user interface to display operational status.
• The Embedded Web Server interface that provides Internet access to isolate
problems for a single switch.
• Unsolicited SNMP trap messages that indicate operational state changes or
failures can be transmitted to up to 12 authorized management workstations.
• E-mail messages or call-home reports provide automatic notification of significant
system events to designated support personnel or administrators.
