The Brocade DCX has a single domain and is managed as a single element with the Data Center Fabric Manager (DCFM). The Brocade
DCX 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 Brocade DCX 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 v6.1.1_enc and later
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
Brocade Fabric
OS Administration Guide for additional MIB information.
