EZSwitchSetup attempts to discover the switch. If your switch discovery fails, refer to
TABLE 2 on
page 22 for details on how to recover your switch.
If you are using the serial connection, the Set Switch IP Address window is displayed, and you can
go to step 5. You can now remove the serial cable from the switch, but keep it available in case you
lose your network connection and need to revise any of the information you entered.
If you are using an Ethernet LAN connection, a Discover Switch window is displayed.

Discovering the switch
1. Locate the WWN for your switch on the switch ID pull-out tab located on the bottom of the port side
of the switch.
2. From the Switch WWN list ( FIGURE 7 on page 17), choose the switch’s WWN prefix numbers and
then enter the last six alphanumeric digits of your switch’s WWN. Each two alphanumeric digits
must be separated by a colon.
3. Click Next.
When EZSwitchSetup discovers the switch, it displays the discovered IP addresses (IPv4 and
IPv6), as shown in
FIGURE 8 on page 17.
If you are setting up the switch for the first time, the IP addresses are placeholder addresses that
were assigned at the factory and you must provide valid addresses.
