The management functions of the MSA SAN Switch 2/8 allow you to monitor

The MSA SAN Switch can be managed through a serial or an Ethernet
connection, and is compatible with the following management interfaces:
38
Command Line Interface (CLI) via a serial connection or Ethernet telnet
session—allows for configuration and management of the switch in a
command line format.
The CLI must be used to initially set the Ethernet IP address of the switch.
For more information, see the following section and refer to the HP
StorageWorks Fabric OS Procedures Guide and the HP StorageWorks
OS Reference Guide. These guides are included on the documentation CD
included in the shipping carton.
Web Tools via an Ethernet connection—provides an easy-to-use graphical
user interface, allowing the SAN administrator to monitor and manage entire
fabrics and individual switches and ports from any standard workstation,
through a standard web browser. Web Tools provides you with the advantage
of being "virtually" in front of any fabric, switch, or port.

StorageWorks Web Tools User Guide. This guide is included on the
documentation CD included in the shipping carton.
