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.
