Application Programming Interface
The Application Programming Interface (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. Contact
your distributor or authorized reseller for information about the API.
Simple Network Management Protocol
SNMP provides monitoring and trap functions for the fabric. SANbox 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 Simple Network Management Protocol Reference Guide for
more information.
Storage Management Initiative–Specification (SMI-S)
SMI-S provides for the management of the switch through third-party applications
that use the SMI-S. Refer to the CIM Agent Reference Guide for more information.
File Transfer Protocols
FTP and TFTP provide 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.
