Before You Begin Chapter 2 Getting Started Send documentation comments to [email protected] Cisco MDS 9000 Fabric Manager The Cisco Fabric Manager is a set of network management tools that supports Secure Simple Network Management Protocol version 3 (SNMPv3). The Cisco Fabric Manager includes the following applications: • Fabric Manager Web Client-Provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays real-time views of your network fabric, and lets you manage the configuration of Cisco MDS 9000 Family devices and third-party switches. Note Cisco SME configuration is supported in Fabric Manager Web Client only. • Fabric Manager Server-Must be started before running the Fabric Manager Client. It can be accessed by up to 16 Fabric Manager Clients at a time. • Device Manager-Provides two views of a switch. - Device View displays a continuously updated physical representation of the switch configuration, and provides access to statistics and configuration information for a single switch. - Summary View displays real-time performance statistics of all active interfaces and channels on the switch for Fibre Channel and IP connections. Note During the Fabric Manager installation, the use_ip flag in the smeserver.properties file is set to FALSE by default. If you choose to use IP addresses, the DNS server should not be configured on any switch in the fabric and the use_ip flag in the smeserver.properties file must be set to TRUE. The Cisco Fabric Manager applications are an alternative to the CLI for most switch configuration commands. For more information on configuring the Cisco MDS switch using Fabric Manager, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Fabric Manager Configuration Guide. Command Line Interface With the CLI, you can type commands at the switch prompt, and the commands are executed when you press the Enter key. The CLI parser provides command help, command completion, and keyboard sequences that allow you to access previously executed commands from the buffer history. For more information on configuring the Cisco MDS switch using the CLI, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 CLI Configuration Guide.
