IMPORTANT: Use caution when disabling the Embedded GUI, GUI Mgmt, and Telnet, as it is possible to
disable all access to the switch except through a serial connection.
The following system services are available:
• Embedded GUI (Graphical User Interface)—Allows users to point a browser at the switch and use the
QuickTools web applet.
• GUI Mgmt—Allows out-of-band management of the switch from the switch management application
(GUI). If disabled, the switch can not be specified as the entry switch for a fabric in the GUI, but can
still be managed through an in-band connection.
• Telnet (Command line interface)—Allows users to manage the switch through a Telnet command line
interface session. Disabling Telnet access to the switch is not recommended.
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)—Allows management of the switch through third-party
applications that use SNMP.
• NTP (Network Time Protocol)—Allows the switch to obtain its time and date settings from an NTP
server. Configuring all of your switches and your workstations to utilize NTP will keep their date/time
settings in sync and will prevent difficulties with SSL certificates and event logs.
• CIM (Common Information Model)—Allows management of the switch through third-party applications
that use CIM.
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)—allows file transfers to the switch via FTP. FTP is required for out-of-band
firmware uploads which will complete faster than in-band Firmware uploads.
• Management Server—Allows management of the switch through third-party applications that use the
GS-3 Management Server.
• Call Home—Allows you to configure switches can send alerts and events to e-mail addresses or
pagers. This e-mail-based Call Home cannot be used to contact HP Services. Call Home to HP Services
can be accomplished using HP Service Essentials Remote Support Pack as described in the HP
StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch installation and reference guide.
