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 chassis, 
network, and SNMP configuration steps on new or replacement switches.

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. SANbox 
Manager will detect the first time use and present the Initial Start dialog, from 
which the Configuration Wizard can be launched. You can also launch the 
Configuration Wizard from the Wizards menu in either the topology display or the 
faceplate display. Open the Wizards menu and select Configuration Wizard. Use 
the Configuration Wizard to configure a new switch in a fabric.
