Resetting a switch
Resetting a switch reboots the switch using the configuration parameters in memory. Depending on the
reset type, a switch reset may include a Power On Self Test (POST) and may disrupt traffic. Table 13
describes the types of switch resets.
IMPORTANT: If performing a Reset or a Hard Reset, the support files, the firmware image files that have
not been unpacked, and the configuration backup files that were created on the switch are deleted.
To reset a switch or a stack:
1. Select a switch or a stack in the fabric tree.
2. Select Switch > Reset Switch for a switch, or Stack > Reset Switch for a stack, and then choose Hot
Reset, Reset, or Hard Reset.
3. Click Yes to continue; click No to cancel the reset.
Configuring a switch
Switch configuration consists of chassis configuration, network configuration, and SNMP configuration.
• Chassis configuration specifies switch-wide Fibre Channel settings.
• Network configuration specifies IP and DNS settings.
• SNMP configuration specifies SNMP settings, SNMP traps, and SNMP security.
Using the configuration wizard
Use the configuration wizard to configure the IP address, password, and other parameters for new or
replacement switches. To start the configuration wizard, select Wizards > Configuration Wizard.
Switch properties
Use the Switch Properties dialog box to change the following switch configuration parameters:
• Domain ID and Domain ID Lock
• Syslog
• Symbolic name
• Switch administrative state
• Broadcast support
• In-band management
• Fabric Device Management Interface (FDMI)

pending firmware, but does not disrupt switch traffic. Fabric services are
unavailable for a short period (30–75 seconds, depending on switch
model). If errors are detected on a port during a hot reset, the port is reset
automatically.
Reset Resets a switch without a Power On Self Test. This reset activates the
pending firmware and it is disruptive to switch traffic.
Hard Reset Resets a switch with a Power On Self Test. This reset activates the pending
firmware and it is disruptive to switch traffic.
