CHAPTER 3SWITCH MANAGEMENT This chapter is divided into three sections providing information on how to manage and monitor the
switch:
•Getting Started – Describes how to configure the network interface, use the Web Manager, and
perform a basic initial setup of the switch.
•Managing the Switch - Describes how to configure the switch and port settings, manage
firmware versions and configuration files, set switch thresholds, and configure One-Step Zoning,
Automatic Trunking, and Load Balancing.
•Monitoring the Switch – Describes how to view switch information, the event log, port
information, and port diagnostics.
The switch incorporates two distinct interfaces for managing and monitoring purposes:
• The Web Manager interface provides an intuitive graphical user interface that enables users to
quickly check switch status or modify switch settings in a visual environment.
• The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides flexibility and additional functionality for advanced
users.
Both of these interfaces provide nearly identical functionality; however, for the purposes of this guide,
the Web Manager interface is used for switch and port configuration unless otherwise noted.
For a list of CLI commands, see Appendix B: CLI Quick Reference on page 65. For additional
information on the CLI, see the
Emulex® or InSpeed™ Storage Switch Products’ CLI Reference Guide
