After reviewing the default configuration, you can change it or perform other configuration or
management tasks. The initial setup can only be performed at the Command-Line Interface (CLI).
However, you can continue to configure other software features, or access the switch after initial
configuration by using either the CLI, or the Fabric Manager GUIs.
The Cisco Fabric Manager provides an alternative to the CLI for most switch configuration commands.
Tip
To use the Cisco MDS 9000 Fabric Manager, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Fabric Manager User
Guide. To use the CLI, refer to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Configuration Guide.
The rest of this procedure uses the Cisco CLI to configure the switch.
