Switch Management Tools
This chapter describes the management module tools. This management module allows the switch to be
managed either locally or remotely. The switch can also be managed using Out-of-Band management of the
switch via FabricIT EFM. The standard switch comes with a management module that will completely man-
age your switch. An optional management module is available that is more robust and can manage a whole
fabric.
4.1 FabricIT
FabricIT EFM is a software based management system that can be run with either a command line interface
or with a GUI interface. The GUI interface can be run through the Web. A license is required for full use of
FabricIT. The standard management module, without a license, allows for managing the switch using only a
small subset of the commands available within FabricIT EFM. Make sure to register your FabricIT license
to enable all of the available commands and functions.
See the FabricIT EFM User Manual for instructions and commands available to manage the switches, and
fabric.
