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.
Replace or restore a switch in an existing fabric.
Recover or edit the IP configuration of an existing switch.

Switch Properties
Use the Switch Properties dialog to change the following switch configuration
parameters:
Symbolic name
Administrative state
Domain ID and domain ID lock
FDMI and FDMI HBA entry limit
Broadcast support (TCP/IP)
In-band management
FC-SW-2 compliance for zoning
Legacy port address format
The timeout values are displayed only for reference purposes when the switch is
online; they become active when the switch is taken offline. After making changes,
click the OK button to put the new values into effect.
