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 dialog boxes that guide you through the steps
to configure new or replacement switches.
Using the Configuration Wizard
The Configuration Wizard is a series of dialog boxes you can use to configure the
IP address and other basic parameters on new or replacement switches. On the
Wizards menu, click
Configuration Wizard
. Use the Configuration Wizard to
configure a new switch in a fabric.
Reset

NOTE:
If performing a Reset or a Hard Reset, the support files, the firmware image
files that have not been unpacked, and the configuration backup files that
were created on the switch will be deleted.
