NTP (Network Time Protocol) — allows the switch to obtain its time and date
settings from an NTP server. Configuring all of your switches and your
workstations to utilize NTP will keep their date/time settings in sync and will
prevent difficulties with SSL certificates and event logs.
CIM (Common Information Model) — allows management of the switch
through third-party applications that use CIM.
FTP (File Transfer Protocol) — allows file transfers to the switch via FTP.
FTP is required for out-of-band firmware uploads which will complete faster
than in-band Firmware uploads.
Management Server — allows management of the switch through third-party
applications that use GS-3 Management Server.
Call Home — allows users to configure their switches to send alerts and
events to pagers, Email and QLogic Technical support. Users can configure
the type of events and where the alerts are sent.
