The SPECTRUM ModelThe model type for the Brocade SilkWorm Switch devices is SilkwormSw.

Modeling results in the creation of Device icons that represent the devices and Application icons that represent their supported applications.

The Device icons contain double-click zones and provide access to Icon Subviews menus that let you perform device management activities such as those listed in Tasks on Page 8.

As Figure 1 shows, the appearance of the Device icons varies slightly depending on the kind of view it appears in.

Application ViewsThis section describes the main Application view and the associated application-specific subviews available for models of Brocade SilkWorm Switch devices in SPECTRUM.

Access: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Device icon, select Application.

Main Application ViewWhen a device model is created, SPECTRUM automatically creates models for each of the major and minor applications supported by the device. The main Application view identifies all of these application models, shows their current condition status, and provides access to application-specific subviews. Figure 7 shows this view in the Icon mode. If you prefer the List mode, which displays applications as text labels, select View > Mode > List.

For more information on this view, refer to the MIBs and the Application View document.

• Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Applications- ADSL

Device-Specific MIBsSPECTRUM imports the following device-level proprietary MIBs into its database:

• SW-MibThese MIBs can be used in conjunction with SPECTRUM’s optional customization products (referred to as the Level I Tool Kits) to create application models and views that display the condition of selected MIB objects.

There are no device-specific applications supported for the Brocade SilkWorm Switches at this point.

Note:Note:

Aprisma Management Technologies can provide training, technical assistance, and custom engineering support services for creating application models and their associated views.


Performance ViewsThis section introduces the Performance view. For details concerning this view, refer to the SPECTRUM Views documentation.

Performance views display performance statistics in terms of a set of transmission attributes, e.g., cell rates, frame rates,% error, etc. A typical view is shown in Figure 8. The instantaneous condition of each transmission attribute is recorded in a graph. The statistical information for each attribute is presented in the adjacent table.

Generally, you determine performance at the device level through Performance views accessed from the Device and Application icons. You determine performance at the port/interface level through Performance views accessed from Interface icons.

Configuration ViewsThis section describes the various Configuration views available for models of the Brocade SilkWorm Switch devices in SPECTRUM.

Configuration views let you see and modify current settings for the modeled device and its interfaces, ports, and applications. The following Configuration views are available for models of Brocade SilkWorm Switch devices:

• Device Configuration View (Page 36)

Device Configuration ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Device icon, select Configuration.

A typical Device Configuration view is shown in Figure 9. Generally, this view includes a few fields that display device information as well as an Interface Configuration Table that lists interface parameters, some of which can be changed (see SPECTRUM Views). Some Device Configuration views include one or more buttons that provide access to device-specific configuration information. These are described below.

Model Information ViewThis section provides a brief overview of the Model Information view.

Model Information views display administrative information about devices and their applications and let you set thresholds and alarm severity for the devices.

Figure 10 shows a sample Model Information view. The layout of this view is the same for all model types in SPECTRUM but some information will vary depending on the model it defines. Refer to the SPECTRUM Views documentation for a complete description of this view.

Proprietary Trap DescriptionsswFaultA swFault(1) is generated whenever the diagnostics detect a fault with the switch.

swSensorScnA swSensorScn(2) is generated whenever an environment sensor changes its operational state, for example a fan stops working. The VarBind in the Trap Data Unit shall contain the corresponding instance of the sensor status, sensor index, sensor type, sensor value (reading) and sensor information. Note that the sensor information contains the type of sensor and its number in textual format.

swScPortScnA swFCPortScn(3) is generated whenever an FC_Port changes its operational state. For example, the FC_Port goes from on-line to offline. The VarBind in the Trap Data Unit shall contain the corresponding instance of the FC_Port's operational status and index.

swEventTrapThis trap is generated when an event with a level at or below swEventTrapLevel occurs.

swFabricWatchTrapThis is the trap to be sent by Fabric Watch to indicate that an event has occurred.

swTrackChangesTrapThis is the trap to be sent for tracking login/logout/config changes.
