Launching the EZSwitchSetup switch manager

You can launch Switch Manager on any workstation with a compatible Web browser installed. For a

list of Web browsers compatible with Fabric OS v6.1, see Table 1 on page 2. Switch Manager also

supports the HTTPS protocol, if that protocol is enabled for the switch. For more information on

enabling the HTTPS protocol on your switch, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.

1. Launch a Web browser and type the IP address of the switch in the Address field:

http://10.77.77.77

https://10.77.77.77

2. Press Enter.

When the prompt appears, log in to the switch. See “Managing the switch” on page 27 for

information.

If there are other applications open when EZSwitchSetup manager launches, the login dialog

can get hidden behind the application so you will not be able to see it. To view the login dialog,

press Alt+Tab.

Logging in

Prior to displaying the login window, Switch Manager may display a security banner which you must

accept before logging in.

1. Click OK in the security banner window, if one appears.
