b. Enter the switch IP address in the Fabric window of the GUI.

It may take a few seconds for the switch icon to become gray. You can click the Refresh button.

c. After the switch icon becomes gray, click the Sun logo.

Note –If the icon remains red, it is likely that the IP address is wrong, or that the switch cannot be accessed from that subnet, or the switch lacks power or an ethernet connection.

▼To Verify and Load the Switch Firmware

You must have the correct firmware revision for the 3.0 version of the GUI in each switch of the Fabric. For cascaded switches, both switches must have the same firmware revision.

▼To Verify the Firmware Revision Level of the switch(es):

Perform the following procedure for each switch.

1.Verify that the switches are not connected to each other.

2.Connect one switch to the net.

3.Launch the GUI and bring up the switch. See “To Start the GUI Software” on page 63.

4.Open the Topology View screen.

The switch icon representing the connected switch displays in the right window pane.
