EME Management Module Architecture
The Enterprise Management Engine (EME)
management module is the primary communication
mechanism into the chassis and any installed switch
fabric modules and interface modules.
The EME is an SNMP-based network management
module that manages and controls the Switch 4007
chassis and its modules.
The EME management module provides the following
management and control capabilities:
Configurations
— When you are logged in using
the Administer password, you can configure the
management module and monitor the chassis
environment.
Inventory
— The management module provides a
complete inventory of switch contents, including
fans and power supplies. The inventory lists current
software revisions for all installed modules. The
inventory system also supports a scratchpad
feature so that you can add custom information to
the management module display.
SNMP Support
— SNMP (Simple Network
Management Protocol) is a protocol that the
Internet Engineering Task Force defined. The
management module acts as an agent in an
SNMP-managed environment. The agent responds
to SNMP requests and generates SNMP traps.
Telnet Support
— With the management module
telnet
command, you can connect a
management module to any other Telnet device.
The management module also supports incoming
Telnet sessions so that you can manage a
management module from a workstation with
Telnet support, or from another management
module.
