Element Manager, which can be launched from the Connectivity Map, to manage the device. This

device cannot be used as a Seed switch.

(FCS) switch at the time of discovery.

Setting time on the fabric will set the time on the primary FCS switch, which will then distribute the

changes to other switches.

Switch.

Switches running in Access Gateway mode cannot be used as the seed switch.
