Switch manager overview

The EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager is a simplified version of Web Tools. It streamlines switch
management by providing an easy-to-use subset of basic switch management tasks.

You can use the EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager to do the following:

Monitor the switch, including port and field replacable unit (FRU) status

Manage custom zoning

Perform basic switch configurations

Add Ports On Demand (POD)

The Switch Manager works for a single-switch fabric only. It displays only the switch and associated
tasks, without fabric information.

Figure 20

shows an example of the initial Switch Manager screen. The window appearance may

vary depending on the switch model. The following sections describe the components of the
screen.
