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 on page 28 shows an example of the initial Switch Manager screen. The appearance
may vary depending on the switch model. The following sections describe the components of the
screen.
