Command Line Interface
The command line interface (CLI) provides monitoring and configuration functions
by which the administrator can manage the fabric and its switches. The CLI is
available over an Ethernet connection or a serial connection. Refer to
Appendix B Command Line Interface for more information.

SANsurfer Switch Manager Application Programming Interface
The SANsurfer Switch Manager API enables an application provider to build a
management application for QLogic switches. The library is implemented in ANSI
standard C, relying only on standard POSIX run-time libraries (except for the
Windows NT build). Contact your distributor or authorized reseller for information
about the SANsurfer Switch Manager API.

Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox2 firmware
supports SNMP versions 1 and 2, the Fibre Alliance Management Information
Base (FA-MIB) version 4.0, and the Fabric Element Management Information
Base (FE-MIB) RFC 2837. Traps can be formatted using SNMP version 1 or 2.
Refer to the SANbox/SANbox2 Simple Network Management Protocol Reference
Guide for more information about using SNMP.

File Transfer Protocol
FTP provides the command line interface for exchanging files between the switch
and the management workstation. These files include firmware image files,
configuration files, and log files. “Backing up and Restoring Switch Configurations”
on page B-4 provides an example of using FTP to transfer configuration files.
