Switch Features

Switch Management

The switch is managed and controlled through a customer-supplied PC platform

with an Ethernet connection to the EWS interface on the switch. Using this

graphical user interface (GUI), operators can quickly view switch status. The

interface also allows service personnel to perform configuration tasks; view

system alerts and related log information; and monitor switch status, port status,

and performance. FRU status and system alert information are highly visible.

Administrators or operators with a browser-capable PC and an Ethernet

connection monitor and manage the switch through the EWS interface. The EWS

interface manages only a single switch, and provides a graphical user interface

(GUI) that supports product configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic

operation. The EWS interface is opened from a standard web browser running

Netscape Navigator 4.6 or later or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later.

At the browser, enter the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the switch as the

Internet uniform resource locator (URL). When prompted at a login screen, enter

a user name and password.

Refer to the HP StorageWorks Embedded Web Server User Guide for more

information.

The command line interface (CLI) allows you to access many switch management

functions while entering commands during a Telnet session with the switch. The

primary purpose of the CLI is to automate management of a large number of

switches using scripts. The CLI is not an interactive interface; no checking is done

for pre-existing conditions and no prompts display to guide users through tasks.

Refer to HP StorageWorks CLI Reference Guide for Directors and Edge Switches

for more information.
