About the Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool

The Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool is a graphical interface for configuring SMI-A settings, such as fabric proxy connections, agent security, port settings, and logging options. This tool is installed during SMI-A installation and can be used after installation is complete.

You must install the Brocade SMI Agent before you can use the Configuration Tool. The Configuration Tool is automatically installed as part of the SMI-A installation.

This chapter describes how to use the tool to make configuration changes after installation, without re-running the installation wizard.

The Brocade SMI Agent Configuration Tool consists of several components, illustrated in Figure 3 on page 14.

•Title bar

The title bar displays the version of the SMI Agent.

•Menu tree

The menu tree displays the actions you can perform using the Configuration Tool. You can expand or collapse the tree to display various groups of commands. By default, the tree is fully expanded.

•Content pane

The content pane displays information relevant to the command that is selected in the menu tree and provides options to configure the functionalities provided by the command.
