Configuring Agents to Monitor Brocade SAN Switches

You configure an agent to monitor the Brocade management server hosting the SMI Agent. All switches managed by this management server are monitored. For details, see Configuring Agents to Monitor Storage Devices.

Cisco SAN Switches

Foglight for Storage Management collects information from Cisco switches through the native MDS 9000 - 9700 series embedded SAN/NX-OS System software CLI.
