Configuring Fabric Watch50
Step 1: Select the class and area to configure
During your planning activities, you should determine exactly what elements or monitors you
want to configure, and in which class they reside. After you have made this decision, you
need to identify the classes.
To navigate to a specific class and area, use the fwConfigure command from a telnet
prompt:
1. Log in to the switch as the administrator.
2. Enter fwConfigure at the command prompt.
3. The fwConfigure menu appears.
The fwConfigure menu contains 12 menu items. The first 11 items correspond to the
classes available for configuration. Item 12, which is the default, exits the fwConfigure
application.
4. From the list displayed, enter the number corresponding to the class that you want to
configure. For example, if you enter 5, the menu corresponding to the E-Port class
appears.
