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 will 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.
