To reset a switch using QuickTools, do the following:
1. Select the switch to be reset in the fabric tree.
2. Open the Switch menu and select the Reset Switch:
Select Hot Reset to perform a hot reset.
Select Reset to perform a standard reset.
Select Hard Reset to perform a hard reset.
Configuring a Switch
Switch configuration is divided into three areas: chassis configuration, network
configuration, and SNMP configuration. Chassis configuration specifies
switch-wide Fibre Channel settings. Network configuration specifies IP settings,
remote logging, and the NTP client. SNMP configuration specifies SNMP settings
and traps.
You can configure a switch explicitly or you can use the Configuration Wizard. The
Configuration Wizard is a series of dialogs that guide you through the steps to
configure new or replacement switches.
Using the Configuration Wizard
The Configuration Wizard is a series of dialogs you can use to configure the IP
address and other basic parameters on new or replacement switches. Open the
Wizards menu and select Configuration Wizard. Use the Configuration Wizard
to configure a new switch in a fabric.
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.
NOTE:
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 will be deleted.
