Configuring a Switch

Switch configuration is divided into three areas: chassis configuration, network configuration, and SNMP configuration. Chassis configuration specifies switch-wide Fibre Channel settings. Network configuration specifies IP settings, remote logging, and the NTP client. SNMP configuration specifies SNMP settings and traps.

You can configure a switch explicitly or you can use the Configuration Wizard. The Configuration Wizard is a series of dialogs that guide you through the chassis, network, and SNMP configuration steps on new or replacement switches.

4.7.1

Using the Configuration Wizard

The Configuration Wizard is a series of dialogs you can use to configure the IP address and other basic parameters on new or replacement switches. SANbox Manager will detect the first time use and present the Initial Start dialog, from which the Configuration Wizard can be launched. You can also launch the Configuration Wizard from the Wizards menu in either the topology display or the faceplate display. Open the Wizards menu and select Configuration Wizard. Use the Configuration Wizard to configure a new switch in a fabric.
