Monitoring
and
maintaining
the
SANB16-2
Once
the
SANB16-2
is
installed
and
configured,
it
does
not
require
any
regular
physical
maintenance.
You
can
monitor
the
health
of
the
fabric
as
well
as
maintain
the
health
of
the
switch
by
using
the
information
in
this
chapter.

Management
features
of
the
SANB16-2
Using
any
of
the
management
tools
built
into
the
switch
listed
in
Table
9,
you
can
monitor
fabric
topology,
port
status,
physical
status,
and
other
information
used
for
performance
analysis
and
system
debugging.
When
running
IP
over
Fibre
Channel,
these
management
tools
must
be
run
on
both
HBA
and
switch
and
must
be
supported
by
both
HBA
and
HBA
driver.

Maintaining
the
SANB16-2
The
SANB16-2
was
designed
to
minimize
the
chance
of
failure,
and
does
not
require
any
regular
physical
maintenance.
Periodically
monitor
the
switch
environment
to
ensure
that
the
environmental
conditions,
described
in
“System
general
specifications”
on
page
39,
are
met.
This
helps
prevent
failure
of
the
switch
due
to
distress
or
abuse.
In
addition
to
running
diagnostic
tests
and
using
various
management
tools,
you
can
monitor
the
condition
of
the
switch
through
the
LEDs.
See
the
tables
in
“Interpreting
LED
activity”
on
page
21
for
descriptions
and
interpretation
of
LED
patterns,
and
recommended
user
interventions.
Diagnostic
tests
In
addition
to
POST,
Fabric
OS
includes
diagnostic
tests
to
help
troubleshoot
the
hardware
and
the
firmware.
This
includes
tests
of
internal
connections
and
circuitry,
fixed
media,
and
the
SFPs
and
cables
in
use.
The
tests
are
implemented
by
command,
either
through
a
Telnet
session
or
through
a
terminal
set
up
for
a
serial
