Rediscovering a Fabric
After making changes to or deleting switches from a fabric view, it may be helpful
to again view the actual fabric configuration. The rediscover fabric option clears
out the current fabric information being displayed, and rediscovers all switch
information. To rediscover a fabric, open the Fabric menu, and select Rediscover
Fabric. The rediscover function is more comprehensive than the refresh function.

Adding a New Switch to a Fabric
If there are no special conditions to be configured for the new switch, simply plug
in the switch and the switch becomes functional with the default fabric
configuration. The default fabric configuration settings are:
Fabric zoning is sent to the switch from the fabric.
All 1/2/4-Gbps ports will be GL_Ports; all 10-Gbps ports will be G_Ports.
The default IP address 10.0.0.1 is assigned to the switch without a gateway
or boot protocol configured (RARP, BOOTP, and DHCP).
If you are adding a new switch to a fabric and do not want to accept the default
fabric configuration, do the following:
1. If the switch is not new from the factory, reset the switch to the factory
configuration before adding the switch to the fabric by selecting Restore
Factory Defaults in the Switch menu.
2. If you want to manage the switch through the Ethernet port, you must first
configure the IP address using the Network Properties dialog or the
Configuration Wizard.
