Changing management interface settings

You can enable or disable management interfaces to limit the ways in which users and host-based
management applications can access the storage system. Network management interfaces operate
out-of-band and do not affect host I/O to the system. The network options are:
• Web Browser Interface (WBI). The primary interface for managing the system. You can enable use of
HTTP, of HTTPS for increased security, or both.
• Command Line Interface (CLI). An advanced user interface for managing the system. You can enable
use of Telnet, of SSH (secure shell) for increased security, or both.
• Storage Management Initiative Specification (SMIS). Used for remote management of the system
through your network.
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A secondary interface for installing firmware updates, downloading logs,
and installing a license.
• Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Used for remote monitoring of the system through your
network.
• Service Debug. Used for technical support only.
In-band management interfaces operate through the data path and can slightly reduce I/O performance.
The in-band option is:
• In-band SES Capability. Used for in-band monitoring of system status based on SCSI Enclosure Services
(SES) data.
If a service is disabled, it continues to run but cannot be accessed. To allow specific users to access WBI,
CLI, or FTP, see
