Configuration options
Configuration tabs resides settings that are used to manage fan power control. There are eight sections in the configuration tab.
Firmware update
There are two phases to the firmware update process. During the firmware upload stage, you can choose path to fetch the firmware image. FPC checks the image header information for validation
- SMTP
- SNMP
- PEF
- Network configuration
- Time setting (always kept regardless if Preserve Setting is checked)
- User account
- Web service
During updating, you are directed to a loading page where all FPC functions are locked.
Once the progress reaches 100%, FPC automatically reboots and you need to log in again to access FPC Web interface.
SMTP/SNMP/PEF tabs
Configured SMTP and SNMP traps allow you to monitor chassis for selected events. SMTP/SNMP trap event types can be set in the PEF (Platform Event Filter) tab. SMTP email-alert and SNMP trap can be enabled, configured, and tested in the SMTP and SNMP tabs respectively. Global Alerting Enable in PEF tab also needs to be checked to enable email alerts. For SNMP trap type, check the Generate PEF box for targeted type of events. For SMTP trap, all the events will be sent to destination email address when Global Alerting Enable is checked.
