Product Manager Overview; Managing The Edge Switch 2/24 - HP 316095-B21 - StorageWorks Edge Switch 2/24 User Manual

This chapter is an introduction and overview of the Edge Switch 2/24 Product
Manager application. It is intended as a quick reference for using features available
through the main Product Manager window.

Managing the Edge Switch 2/24

These options are available for managing the Edge Switch 2/24 through a user
interface:
• The Product Manager application installed on an high-availability fabric manager
(HAFM) server. Access to the Product Manager must be through the HAFM
applications. These applications are installed on the HAFM server.
• The Embedded Web Server (EWS) interface. Using a browser-capable PC with an
internet connection to the switch, you can monitor and manage the switch through
the web server interface embedded in the switch firmware. The interface provides
a Graphical User Interface (GUI) similar to the Product Manager application and
supports switch configuration, statistics monitoring, and basic operation.
To launch the Embedded Web Server interface, enter the switch's IP address as the
internet uniform resource locator (URL) into any standard browser. Enter a user
name and password at a the login screen. The browser then becomes a
management console. Refer to the web server interface online help for details on
use.
NOTE: The default user name for the right to view status and other information is "operator."
The default user name for the right to modify configuration data, perform maintenance tasks, or
perform other options is "administrator." The default password for both user names is
"password."
• The command line interface (CLI). The CLI allows you to access many HAFM
and Product Manager 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
