specify in the Logging Host IP Address field. Log entries are saved in the internal switch log whether this
feature is enabled or not.
To save log information to a remote host, you must edit the syslog.conf file (located on the remote host) and
then restart the syslog daemon. Consult your operating system documentation for information on how to
configure Remote Logging. The syslog.conf file on the remote host must contain an entry that specifies
the name of the log file in which to save error messages. Add the following line to the syslog.conf file. A
<tab> separates the selector field (local0.info) and action field which contains the log file path name in the
format /var/adm/messages/messages.name:
local0.info <tab> /var/adm/messages.name
Symbolic name
The symbolic name is a user-defined name of up to 32 characters that identifies the switch. The symbolic
name is used in the displays and data windows to help identify switches. The following characters may not
be used in the symbolic name: pound sign (#), semi-colon (;), and comma (,).
Switch administrative states
The switch administrative state determines the operational state of the switch. The switch administrative
state exists in two forms: the configured administrative state and the current administrative state.
The configured administrative state is the state that is saved in the switch configuration and is preserved
across switch resets. QuickTools always makes changes to the configured administrative state. The
configured administrative state is displayed in the Switch Properties dialog box.
The current administrative state is the state that is applied to the switch for temporary purposes and is not
retained across switch resets. The current administrative state is set using the Set Switch command. See the
HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch command line interface guide for information about the
command line interface.
The switch administrative state values are:
• Online—The switch is available.
• Offline—The switch is unavailable.
• Diagnostics—The switch is in diagnostics mode, is unavailable, and tests can be run on all ports of the
switch.
Broadcast support
Broadcast is supported on the switch and allows for TCP/IP support. Broadcast is implemented using the
proposed standard specified in Multi-Switch Broadcast for FC-SW-3, T11 Presentation Number
T11/02-031v0. Fabric Shortest Path First (FSPF) is used to set up a fabric spanning tree used in
transmission of broadcast frames. Broadcast frames are retransmitted on all ISLs indicated in the spanning
tree and all online N_Ports and NL_Ports. Broadcast zoning is supported with zones. The default setting is
Enabled.
In-band management
In-band management is the ability to manage switches across inter-switch links using QuickTools, SNMP,
management server, or the application programming interface. The switch comes from the factory with
in-band management enabled. If you disable in-band management on a particular switch, you can no
longer communicate with that switch by means other than a direct Ethernet or serial connection.
Fabric device management interface
Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI) provides a means to gather and display device information
from the fabric and allows FDMI-capable devices to register certain information with the fabric, when FDMI
is Enabled. QuickTools will report any and all FDMI information reported by the entry switch, if FDMI is
enabled on the entry switch. To view FDMI data, FDMI must be enabled on the entry switch and on all
other switches in the fabric which are to report FDMI data.
FDMI is comprised of the fabric-to-device interface and the application-to-fabric interface. The
fabric-to-device interface enables a device’s management information to be registered. The
application-to-fabric interface provides the framework by which an application obtains device information
