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. The application
will detect the first time use and present the Initial Start dialog, from which the
Configuration Wizard can be launched. 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.
Note – You can utilize unused donor ports with the Extended Credit Wizard only
when pointing to a switch running firmware that supports this feature. Refer to
“Using the Extended Credits Wizard” on page 186 for more information.
Switch Properties
Use the Switch Properties dialog (FIGURE 5-10) to change the following switch
configuration parameters:
■ Domain ID and Domain ID Lock
■ Syslog
■ Symbolic Name
■ Switch Administrative States
■ Broadcast Support
■ In-band Management
■ Fabric Device Management Interface
To open the Switch Properties dialog, either select a switch in the topology display
or open the faceplate/backplate 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/backplate displays, and select
Switch Properties from the popup menu.
