Switch Management

SANbox Manager is a workstation-based Java® application that provides a graphical user interface for fabric management. This application runs on a Windows®, Solaris™, or Linux® workstation. The management workstation connects to the fabric directly through one switch’s Ethernet port and provides in-band management for all other switches in the fabric. Refer to the SANbox2-8c/16 Switch Management User’s Guide for information about the SANbox Manager application and its use.

In addition to SANbox Manager, the switch supports the following management tools:

Command Line Interface

File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

The command line interface provides monitoring and configuration functions by which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. Refer to Appendix B Command Line Interface for more information.

FTP provides the command line interface for exchanging files between the switch and the management workstation. These files include firmware image files, configuration files, and log files.

SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox2 firmware supports SNMP versions 1 and 2, the Fibre Alliance Management Information Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP versions 1 or 2.
