Configuring a Switch
Switch configuration is divided into three areas: chassis configuration, network
configuration, and SNMP configuration. Chassis configuration specifies
switch-wide Fibre Channel settings. Network configuration specifies IP settings,
remote logging, and the NTP client. SNMP configuration specifies SNMP settings
and traps.
You can configure a switch explicitly or you can use the Configuration Wizard. The
Configuration Wizard is a series of dialogs that guide you through the chassis,
network, and SNMP configuration steps on new or replacement switches.

Using the Configuration Wizard
The Configuration Wizard is a series of dialogs you can use to configure the IP
address and other basic parameters on new or replacement switches. Open the
Wizards menu and select
Configuration Wizard
. Use the Configuration Wizard
to configure a new switch in a fabric.
Hard Reset
Resets a switch with a Power On Self Test. This reset activates the
pending firmware and it is disruptive to switch traffic.
NOTE:
If performing a Reset or a Hard Reset, the supports files, the firmware
image files that have not been unpacked, and the configuration backup
files that were created on the switch will be deleted.
