tion parameters and SNMP configuration parameters

• For fabrics which contain multiple Switch chassis, view the topology of the

selected fabric including the T_Port connections between chassis

• View the fabric Ethernet connection(s)

• View hardware and firmware version information for the selected chassis

• Configure chassis parameters such as:

- Switch Name

NOTE:

The SANsurfer Switch management application is able to manage a variety of

Switch products (8-port, 16-port, full-featured Switches, Switches which have only

segmented private loop ports, etc.). This section describes the functions of the

application. The application “grays-out” or doesn’t display functions that do not

pertain to the selected Switch chassis.
