Once the Web UI is accessed, the Switch main menu item displays a configuration tab with
high-level switch information. Click the Show Dashboard button to display an overall indicator of
switch health. Once the switch is fully configured, the dashboard is the central display for the user
to view the version of firmware running on the switch, quickly assess the last 5 alarms generated
by the switch, view the status of the switch’s Ethernet connections and view switch CPU and
memory utilization statistics.
NOTE
The chapters within this System Reference Guide are arranged to be complimentary with the main
menu items in the menu tree of the switch Web UI. Refer to this content to configure switch network
addressing, security and diagnostics as required.
Switch password recovery
The access point has a means of restoring its password to its default value. Doing so also reverts
the access point’s security, radio and power management configuration to their default settings.
Only an installation professional should reset the access point’s password and promptly define a
new restrictive password.
To contact Brocade Support in the event of a password reset requirement, go to
http://www.brocade.com/support/
CAUTION
Only a qualified installation professional should set or restore the access point’s radio and power
management configuration in the event of a password reset.
Upgrading the switch image
The switch ships with a factory installed firmware image with the full feature functionality described
in this System Reference Guide. However, Brocade periodically releases switch firmware that
includes enhancements or resolutions to known issues. Verify your current switch firmware version
with the latest version available from the Brocade Web site before determining if your system
requires an upgrade.
Auto installation
The switch auto install function can be configured manually or using a DHCP server. When
configuring auto installation using DHCP, the server requires the definition of a vendor class and
four sub-options under option 43 namely:
• Option 186 - defines the tftp/ftp server and ftp username, password information
• Option 187 - defines the firmware path and file name
• Option 188 - defines the config path and file name
• Option 190 - defines the cluster config path and file name.
