The Devices tasks enables you to view the devices attached to the switch, display the device
connections, and modify a device alias.
The Zoning tasks enables you to view the zoning on the device, edit the zoning, validate the zoning,
or restore the default fixed zoning.
The Miscellaneous tasks include refreshing the onscreen data, advanced management of the
switch, and logging out.
The switch’s Port Information page is shown by default when Switch Manager launches.
SWITCH VIEW
The Switch View displays the switch and status buttons across the top. The status buttons enables
access to each element listed.
Click the refresh icon in the Miscellaneous Task to update the information on the screen with the
current switch information. The display refreshes automatically each time you click a different task
in the task panel.
CONTENT PAGE
When you click an item in the task panel, the content for that item displays in the right pane of the
window. A content page can contain a table or other information. Additionally, a content page might
contain tabs. The tabs are at the top of the page and provide a categorized view of information
about objects shown on the page. You can click a tab to view the display for that tab.
Export, Copy, and Search links are displayed at the top-left of each tab of most content pages and
under Actions on the Fan, Temp, Status dialog box.
NOTE
You must accept the Brocade Certificate at the beginning of the login to EZSwitch Manger to enable
the functionality of Export and Copy.
• Click Export to save the contents of the table to a tab-delimited file. For CHAP, the secret is still
encrypted.
• Click Copy to copy the contents of the table in tab-delimited text format to a file.
• Click Search to search for a specific text string in the table.
Type a text string in the box that displays on the table, and press Enter. This is an incremental
search and allows 24 maximum characters including the wildcard characters: question mark
(?) and asterisk (*). The first row containing the text string is highlighted. To find the next
match, press the down arrow. To find the previous match, press the up arrow.
If the text is not found in the table, the text turns red.
STATUS BAR
The status bar, at the bottom of the window, is divided into the following sections:
• Progress indicator
This is on the left side of the status bar. When Switch Manager is sending data to or retrieving
data from the switch, this indicator is animated.
• User name and IP address
