SANsurfer Switch Manager Web Applet

To make switch management less dependent on a particular workstation, each switch contains a SANsurfer Switch Manager web applet. One instance of the web applet can be run at a time by opening the switch IP address with an internet browser. The switch comes from the factory with the web applet enabled, but you can disable it using the EmbeddedGUIEnabled parameter of the Set Setup System command. An inactivity timeout can also be set. Refer to ”Set Setup Command” on page B-49for more information.

The applet possesses the same features as the workstation-based version with the following exceptions:

„Extended Credits wizard

„Zoning Wizard

„SANsurfer Performance Viewer

„Condensed online help

2.7.3

Command Line Interface

The command line interface (CLI) provides monitoring and configuration functions by which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is available over an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. Refer to Appendix B Command Line Interface for more information.

2.7.4

SANsurfer Switch Manager Application Programming Interface

The SANsurfer Switch Manager API enables an application provider to build a management application for QLogic switches. The library is implemented in ANSI standard C, relying only on standard POSIX run-time libraries (except for the Windows NT build). Contact your distributor or authorized reseller for information about the SANsurfer Switch Manager API.

2.7.5

Simple Network Management Protocol

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 version 1 or 2. Refer to the SANbox/SANbox2 Simple Network Management Protocol Reference Guide for more information about using SNMP.
