Configuration wizard
The Configuration wizard is a series of dialog boxes you can use to configure the IP address
and other basic parameters on new or replacement switches. Switch Manager detects the first
time use and present the Initial Start Dialog—Switch Manager dialog box, 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 by opening the Wizards
menu, and then selecting Configuration Wizard.
Switch properties
To open the Switch Properties dialog box, either select a switch in the topology display or
open the faceplate display for the switch you are configuring, and then select Switch > Switch
Properties. You may also right-click a switch graphic in the topology display or faceplate
display, and then select Switch Properties from the menu.
Use the Switch Properties dialog box to change the following switch configuration
parameters:
■ Symbolic Name parameter
■ Administrative State parameter
■ Domain ID and Domain ID Lock parameters
■ Broadcast Support parameter
■ In-band Management parameter
■ Interop Mode parameter
■ Legacy Address Format parameter
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 OK to put the
new values into effect.

Symbolic Name parameter
The symbolic name is a user-defined name of up to 32 characters that identifies the switch.
The symbolic name is used in the topology and faceplate displays, as well as many data
windows to more easily identify switches. Illegal characters are the pound sign (#), semi-colon
(;), and comma (,).
