Managing the Fabric Database

A fabric database contains the set of fabrics that you have added during a

SANbox Manager session. Initially, the SANbox Manager application opens with

an empty fabric database.

3.2.1

Adding a Fabric

To add a fabric to the database, do the following:

1. Open the Fabric menu and select Add Fabric to open the Add a New Fabric

window as shown in Figure3-1.

Figure 3-1. Add a New Fabric Window

2. Enter a fabric name and the IP address of the switch through which to

manage the fabric.

3. Enter an account name. The factory account name and password are

(admin, password). Choose the Add Fabric button.

This password is for the switch and is stored in the switch firmware. If

security is turned off (default), you are not required to enter an account

name or password. Refer to ”Security” on page 3-1. Refer to the Set Setup

Command on page A-34 for account name, password, and security

information.

Note: A switch supports a combined maximum of 15 logins. This includes

SANbox Manager inband and out-of-band logins, Telnet out-of-band

logins, and SNMP out-of-band logins. Additional logins will be refused.
