Switch Information

In this chapter

Viewing the Switch Interface
The Switch Configuration tab provides high-level system, switch name and address information
accessible from one location. Use this information to assess whether the current firmware version
is the most recent and if the number of licenses available is correct to support the number of radio
devices deployed. The values displayed within the screen can be defined in numerous additional
locations throughout the switch applet.
NOTE
The RF Management Software is a recommended utility to plan the deployment of the switch and
view its interface statistics once operational in the field. RFMS can help optimize the positioning and
configuration of a switch (and its associated radios) in respect to a WLAN's client throughput
requirements and can help detect rogue devices. For more information, refer to the Brocade
Website.
The switch screen displays two tabs supporting the following configuration activities:

NOTE
When the switch's configuration is successfully updated (using the Web UI), the effected screen is
closed without informing the user their change was successful. However, if an error were to occur,
the error displays within the effected screen's Status field and the screen remains displayed. With
file transfer operations, the transfer screen remains open during the transfer and remains open
upon completion (with status displayed within the Status field).
