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 window, 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.

Switch Properties
Use the Switch Properties window to change the chassis name, administrative
state, domain ID, to enable or disable broadcast support, and to enable or disable
inband management. Broadcast support provides support for TCP/IP. The timeout
values are displayed for reference purposes when the switch is online; they
become active when the switch is taken offline. After making changes, choose the
OK button to put the new values into effect.
