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
Appendix B Command Line Interface

SANsurfer Switch Manager Application Programming Interface

The SANsurfer Switch Manager 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 SANsurfer Switch
Manager API.

Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox firmware
supports SNMP versions 1 and 2, 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/SANbox2 Simple Network Management Protocol Reference
Guide for more information about using SNMP.

File Transfer Protocol

FTP provides 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.
