download it.

3. Enter the default switch IP address, login name (default is admin), and password (default is
password
) in the Add a New Fabric dialog.
4. Click Add Fabric.
5. Select the switch in the graphic window of the topology display.

Select
Switch > Network Properties.
7. Change the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gateway settings to reflect your desired network
configuration in the Network Properties dialog.
8. Click OK.

Select
File > Exit to close the McDATA Web Server application. The switch is now ready to be managed
through your network.

Repeat steps 1—4 using the switch's newly configured IP address to launch the McDATA Web Server
application once your configured switch is connected to the network.
