Fabric Management
The Enterprise Fabric Suite application runs on a management workstation and
provides for the configuration, control, and maintenance of multiple fabrics.
Supported platforms include Windows, Solaris, Linux, and Mac OS X. Enterprise
Fabric Suite comes with a 30-day trial license—a permanent license is available
for purchase from your authorized reseller.
The browser-based application, QuickTools, and the CLI reside in the switch
firmware, and manage individual switches in a single fabric. Consider how many
fabrics and switches will be managed, how many management workstations are
needed, and whether the fabrics will be managed with Enterprise Fabric Suite,
QuickTools, or the CLI.
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins that are reserved as follows:

Four logins or sessions for internal applications such as management server
and SNMP

Nine high priority Telnet sessions

Six logins or sessions for Enterprise Fabric Suite logins, QuickTools logins,
API logins, and Telnet logins.
Additional logins will be refused.
