System Services Dialog

The System Services dialog provides a central location for you to enable or disable any of the external user services such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), Secure SHell (SSH), embedded switch management application, command line interface, Network Time Protocol (NTP), and Common Information Model (CIM). To display the System Services dialog, open the Switch menu and select Services.

Use caution when disabling the Embedded GUI, GUI Mgmt, Telnet, SSL, and SSH, as it is possible to disable all access to the switch except through a serial connection.

„Embedded GUI - Embedded Graphical User Interface. Allows users to point a browser at the switch and run the embedded switch management application on that switch as an applet.

„GUI Mgmt - Allows out-of-band management of the switch from the switch management application (GUI). If disabled, the switch can not be specified as the entry switch for a fabric in the GUI, but can still be managed through an in-band connection.
