Chapter 2, “Setting Up Your Switch,” describes how to use the EZSwitchSetup wizard and Switch
Configuration to set up and configure your switch for the first time. For additional information about
your switch, see the hardware reference manual included on the Brocade Documentation CD,
which ships with the switch.
Chapter 3, “Managing Your Switch,” describes how to use the Switch Manager to monitor and
manage your switch.
NOTE
Although your switch may have advanced capabilities, EZSwitchSetup is for a single-switch fabric
with FC ports only. To configure and manage other features on your switch, use the command line
interface, Web Tools, or DCFM.
