Configuring a Switch
Switch configuration is divided into two areas: chassis configuration and network
configuration. Chassis configuration specifies switch-wide Fibre Channel settings.
Network configuration specifies Ethernet and SNMP settings.
To open the Switch Properties dialog, either select a switch in the topology display
or open the faceplate display for the switch you be configuring, and then open the
Switch menu and select Switch Properties. You may also right-click a switch
graphic in the topology display or faceplate display, and select Switch Properties
from the popup menu.

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. The Configuration Wizard
allows you to assign a temporary IP address to a connected switch, eliminating
the need to change your workstation's IP address for initial configuration of a new
switch. 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.
Add a new switch to an existing fabric.
