Refer to the SANbox 5000 Series Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide for 
information about the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application and its use.

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 SANbox

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.
