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.
