Server Switch Module SBCEFCSW
You can manage and configure your Fibre Channel Switch Module through a Telnet connection to
the embedded command line interface (CLI) or by using the SAN Utility application. The SAN
Utility provides an intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) that you can use to configure multiple
Fibre Channel switch modules through other connected SAN devices from a single interface. The
SAN Utility application is referred to throughout this publication as the SAN Utility. The Fibre
Channel Switch Module is referred to throughout this publication as the switch module.
This Guide provides instructions to:
•
Configure your switch module
•
Manage fabrics, ports, and switch modules
•
Use Telnet and the CLI to configure switch module parameters
You can manage the SBCE fabric through an Ethernet network using the SAN Utility or the CLI.
The SAN Utility is installed on a Microsoft

Advanced Server
Version 2.1 or Red Hat Linux Version 9.0.
The switch module has an embedded Telnet server through which a Telnet client can connect and
manage the switch module using the CLI. See “Command line interface (CLI)” for more
information about Telnet and CLI commands.
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. The switch module 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 are
formatted using SNMP version 2.
If you are an experienced user, you can use the Telnet CLI to perform the following tasks:
•
Manage the switch module from the SBCE management module interface to the Telnet client
•
Perform single switch management
•
Use advanced control commands
If you are a new user or if you need to manage multiple switch modules from a single interface, you
can use the SAN Utility GUI to perform the following tasks:
•
Manage your switch module from a remote client or network management workstation
•
Manage your multiswitch fabric
For information about installing the switch module and the SAN Utility, see the Switch Module
Installation Guide that comes with the switch module.
Command line interface (CLI)
Your switch module contains an embedded Telnet server. This server enables a Telnet client to
establish a Telnet session with the switch module to retrieve information or to configure parameters
using the CLI. You can use the CLI to perform a variety of fabric and switch management tasks
through an Ethernet connection to your SBCE unit.
You can access the Telnet interface in two ways:
