Command Line Interface

The command line interface (CLI) provides monitoring and configuration functions
by which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is
available over an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. Refer to SANbox
3810 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface Guide for more information.

Application Programming Interface

The Application Programming Interface (API) enables an application provider to
build a management application for QLogic switches. The library is implemented
in ANSI standard C, relying only on standard POSIX run-time libraries. Contact
your distributor or authorized reseller for information about the API.

Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox firmware
supports SNMP versions 1, 2, and 3, the Fibre Alliance Management Information
Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information
Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2.
Refer to the SANbox Simple Network Management Protocol Reference Guide for
more information.
You must use the CLI to configure SNMP version 3. Refer to the Snmpv3user
command in the SANbox 3810 Fibre Channel Switch Command Line Interface
Guide.
Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S)
SMI-S provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications
that use the SMI-S. Refer to the CIM Agent Reference Guide for more information.

File Transfer Protocols

FTP and TFTP provide the command line interface for exchanging files between
the switch and the management workstation. These files include firmware image
files, configuration files, and log files.
