General Description

This section describes the features and capabilities of the SANbox2-16 Fibre

Channel switch. The following topics are described:

Chassis controls and LEDs

Fibre channel ports

Ethernet port

Serial port

Power supplies

Fans

Switch management

Fabrics are managed with the SANbox Manager switch management application

(version 2.00) and the Command Line Interface (CLI). Refer to the

SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information about using the

SANbox Manager application. Refer to Appendix B Command Line Interface for

more information about the command line interface.
