Installing and running the EZSwitchSetup wizard

If you are using an Ethernet LAN connection, a Discover Switch screen is displayed (Figure7).

Go on to “Discovering the switch.”

FIGURE 7 First Discover Switch screen

Discovering the switch

1. Locate the WWN for your switch on the switch ID pull-out ta b located on the bottom of the port

side of the switch.

2. From the Switch WWN list (Figure7), choose the switch’s WWN prefix numbers and then enter

the last six alphanumeric digits of your switch’s WWN. Each two alphanumeric digits must be

separated by a colon.

3. Click Next.

When EZSwitchSetup discovers the switch, it displays the discovered IP addresses (IPv4 and

IPv6) on the screen (Figure8).

If you are setting up the switch for the first time, the IP addresses are placeholder addresses

that were assigned at the factory and you must provide valid addresses.
