Supported switches

You can use EZSwitchSetup with the switches listed in “Supported hardware and software” on

pageviii.

Your switch must meet the following requirements:

•It must be connected to an Ethernet LAN that is accessible by the host. If it is not, the system

issues the message “Page not Found.”

•It must have licensed FC ports. If the switch has no licensed FC ports, you must first install a

POD license and then enable the affected ports. For more information, refer to the section

“Add port license” on page35

•It must be in a single-switch fabric. If your switch connects to another switch (if there is an

E_Port on the switch), you cannot manage the switch using EZSwitchSetup until you

disconnect the switch connection.

NOTE

If there is an E_Port on the switch and if there is a zone conflict, then the fabric is segmented;

in this case, the switch is in a fabric by itself and EZSwitchSetup treats it as a single-switch

fabric.

You cannot use EZSwitchSetup to manage a switch that has any of the following features enabled:

•Virtual Fabrics with non-default logical switches

•Access Gateway

•User-defined Admin Domains
