Fabric Management
The Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application executes on a management
workstation that provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of
multiple fabrics. Supported platforms include Windows, Solaris, Linux, and
MacOS X.
The browser-based application, QuickTools, and the command line interface (CLI)
reside in the switch firmware and provide for the management of individual
switches in a single fabric. Consider how many fabrics will be managed, how
many management workstations are needed, and whether the fabrics will be
managed with Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, QuickTools, or the CLI.
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins reserved as follows:
4 logins or sessions for internal applications such as management server
and SNMP
9 high priority Telnet sessions
6 logins or sessions for Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 logins, QuickTools
logins, API logins, and Telnet logins
Additional logins will be refused.
