Power Supply and Fan
The power supply converts standard 110 or 230 VAC to DC voltages for the
various switch circuits. An internal fan provides cooling. Depending on the switch
model, air flow is front-to-back or back-to-front. To energize the swit ch, plug the
power cord into the switch AC receptacle and into a 110 or 230 VAC power
source.

Switch Management
SANbox Manager is a PC-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 Switch Management User’s
Guide for information about SANbox Manager and its use.
In addition to SANbox Manager, the switch also supports the following command
line interface tools:
■Command Line Interface (CLI)
■File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
■Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
The CLI 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 about the CLI
commands.
FTP provides a command line interface for loading new firmware.
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox2 firmware
supports SNMP version 1, 2, and 3, the Fibre Alliance Management Information
Base (FA-MIB) version 3.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information
Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps are formatted using SNMP version 2.
Note: The power supply and fan are not field replaceable units.
