EZSwitchSetup is an easy-to-use graphical user interface application for setting up and managing your switch. It has the following components:
•EZSwitchSetup wizard (on the installation CD)
•EZSwitchSetup switch configuration wizard
•EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager
Figure 1 illustrates the high-level workflow of EZSwitchSetup.
FIGURE 1 EZSwitchSetup components
Chapter 2, “Setting Up Your Switch,” describes how to use the EZSwitchSetup wizard and Switch Configuration to set up and configure your switch for the first time. For additional information about your switch, see the hardware reference manual included on the Brocade Documentation CD, which ships with the switch.
Chapter 3, “Managing Your Switch,” describes how to use the Switch Manager to monitor and manage your switch.

1 EZSwitchSetup software and hardware requirements
NOTE
Although your switch may have advanced capabilities, EZSwitchSetup is for a single-switch fabric with FC ports only. To configure and manage other features on your switch, use the command line interface, Web Tools, or Brocade Network Advisor.
You can run EZSwitchSetup on a SAN host computer or you can use a different computer that is not part of the SAN, such as a laptop.
EZSwitchSetup requires a browser that conforms to HTML version 4.0 and JavaScript version 1.0. The EZSwitchSetup installation CD automatically installs the correct Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for the disk-based installation wizard. This does not affect any pre-installed JREs, but other program components launched from the switch require Oracle JRE 1.7.0_9 or higher installed on the host.
EZSwitchSetup is supported on the platforms shown in Table 1.

The minimum hardware requirements for a Windows system are as follows:
•90 MB of hard drive space for the EZSwitchSetup installation directory.
•512 MB or more RAM for fabrics containing up to 15 switches.
•A minimum of 8 MB of video RAM is also recommended.
•An Ethernet port.
•A serial (COM) port if you plan to connect to the serial port on the switch.

Correct operation of EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager with Internet Explorer requires specifying the appropriate settings for browser refresh frequency and process model. Browser pages should be refreshed frequently to ensure the correct operation of Switch Manager.
1.Select Tools > Internet Options.
2.Select the General tab.
3.Click the Settings button under “Browsing history.”
4.Click Every time I visit the webpage under “Check for newer versions of stored pages,” as shown in Figure 2.
5.Click OK to save the changes.

Supported switches
You can use EZSwitchSetup with the switches listed in “Supported hardware and software” on page v.
Your switch must meet the following requirements:
•It must be connected to an Ethernet LAN that is accessible by the host. If it is not, the system issues the message “Page not Found.”
•It must have licensed FC ports. If the switch has no licensed FC ports, you must first install a POD license and then enable the affected ports. For more information, refer to “Adding a port license” on page 38
EZSwitchSetup Administrator’s Guide |

•It must be in a single-switch fabric. If your switch connects to another switch (if there is an E_Port on the switch), you cannot manage the switch using EZSwitchSetup until you disconnect the switch connection.
NOTE
If there is an E_Port on the switch and if there is a zone conflict, then the fabric is segmented; in this case, the switch is in a fabric by itself and EZSwitchSetup treats it as a single-switch fabric.
You cannot use EZSwitchSetup to manage a switch that has any of the following features enabled:
•Virtual Fabrics with non-default logical switches
•Access Gateway
•User-defined Admin Domains
You can, however, use the EZSwitchSetup wizard to discover these switches and set their IP addresses. The Brocade VA-40FC switch comes pre-configured in Access Gateway mode. If you use the EZSwitchSetup wizard to discover the Brocade VA-40FC switch and set the IP address, Web Tools will launch automatically for you to manage the Access Gateway features.
The EZSwitchSetup wizard and the Switch Manager interface display the following languages:
•English (default)
•Brazilian Portuguese
•French
•German
•Italian
•Japanese
•Korean
•Simplified Chinese
•Spanish
•Traditional Chinese
When you launch EZSwitchSetup, the interface detects the operating system and language environment and installs and displays the appropriate language. For example, if you set up the switch using a German operating system, EZSwitchSetup installs the German language interface and displays text, messages, and labels in that language.
If localization resources are not fully available in the user host environment, EZSwitchSetup uses the default language, English.
Regardless of the local language, the following is displayed in English:
•User input, which must consist of printable ASCII characters
•Switch-based information (such as firmware version and switch name)
•Some globally accepted industry terms (such as SAN and HBA)
•The End User License Agreement (EULA)

You can run EZSwitchSetup from a computer you are currently using for SAN administration, or you can use a different computer that is not part of the SAN, such as a laptop. In this chapter, the computer running EZSwitchSetup is called the setup computer.
The first step in setting up your switch is to install the EZSwitchSetup wizard, which is located on the EZSwitchSetup installation CD.
1.Insert the EZSwitchSetup CD into the CD-ROM drive of your setup computer.
•On Windows: The installer will autostart in about a minute.
•On Linux: Navigate to the following path location on the CD-ROM: CDROM_Path/CDROM_Installers/Linux/Disk1/InstData/VM/install.bin
2.Install EZSwitchSetup following the onscreen directions. Installation will take a few minutes after you click OK.
3.Click Done on the last screen (shown in Figure 3) to exit the installer.

1.Choose the method of connecting to your LAN.
You have the choice of using a serial connection or an Ethernet connection to your LAN to set the IP address for the switch. The Ethernet connection is generally more convenient and preferred. Use the serial connection if it is not possible or not convenient to connect the host on the same subnet as the switch.
2.Click Next.
The Connect Cables window is displayed (Figure 5).
