Fabric Management
The Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application executes 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 2007 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 provide for the management of 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 2007, QuickTools, or the CLI.
A switch supports a combined maximum of 19 logins that are 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, Application Programming Interface (API) logins, and Telnet logins.
Additional logins will be refused.
