Description: MIB for the ED-5000 enterprise Fibre Channel director providing management of ports, fabrics, and SAN connectivity.

What Is ED-5000-MIB?

ED-5000-MIB is a vendor MIB for the ED-5000 enterprise Fibre Channel director, a high-port-count SAN switching platform used to interconnect storage arrays and servers in Fibre Channel fabrics. It exposes management data covering physical port configuration and status, fabric membership/zoning-related state, and overall chassis/system identification for the director. Its monitoring value centers on hardware and connectivity status: administrators use it to track port up/down and link state, module/blade presence and health within the director chassis, and overall system status such as uptime and redundant component (power supply/fan) health typical of large SAN director chassis. As a Fibre Channel switching device it likely aligns with or complements standard FIBRE-CHANNEL-FE-MIB / FC-MGMT-MIB conventions used across FC switch vendors. It is deployed in enterprise data centers as the core SAN fabric switch connecting storage arrays to server HBAs, with the ED-5000-MIB MIB providing the management data referenced above for that role.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in ED-5000-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • ED-5000 enterprise Fibre Channel director / SAN switch

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would poll the director's port tables to check link/operational status on each Fibre Channel port and catch a port that dropped from the fabric, which typically shows up as a lost storage path on attached hosts. Chassis-level objects would be checked for redundant power supply and fan status to catch a failing component before it causes a fabric outage, and system identity/version objects would be polled to confirm firmware consistency across director pairs in a fabric. No object names were captured for this MIB in this batch, so exact OIDs should be confirmed against the compiled source.

What Can Be Monitored

  • Fibre Channel port link/operational status
  • port configuration
  • chassis/module health
  • power supply and fan status
  • system uptime
  • firmware version
