To reset a switch using SANbox Manager, do the following:

1.

Select the switch to be reset and open the faceplate display.

2.

Open the Switch menu and select the Reset Switch pull-down menu:
„

Select Hot Reset to perform a hot reset.

Switch configuration is divided into two areas: chassis configuration and network 
configuration. Chassis configuration specifies switch-wide Fibre Channel settings. 
Network configuration specifies Ethernet and SNMP settings.

To open the Switch Properties dialog, open the Switch menu and select Switch 
Properties. You may also right-click a switch graphic in the topology display or 
faceplate display, and select Switch Properties from the popup menu.

Use the Switch Properties dialog to change the following switch configuration 
parameters:

„

Symbolic name

„

Administrative state

„

Domain ID and domain ID lock

„

Broadcast support (TCP/IP)

„

Inband management

„

FC-SW-2 compliance for zoning

„

Legacy port address format

The timeout values are displayed only for reference purposes when the switch is 
online; they become active when the switch is taken offline. After making changes, 
choose the OK button to put the new values into effect.
