Managing the 3534 Model F08
For system debugging and performance analysis, you can manage the 3534 Model
F08 using either the in-band or the out-of-band management method. In-band uses
fibre-channel protocol and out-of-band connects to the Ethernet port. You can
monitor attributes such as the following:
v
Fabric topology
v
Port status
v
Physical status
Note: The switch automatically performs power-on self-test (POST) diagnostics
each time it is turned on and records any detected errors in the error log. For
more information about POST, see “Interpreting POST” on page 22.
Table 1 shows the management interfaces that are compatible with the 3534 Model
F08 and whether those interfaces can be used in-band, out-of-band, or both.
