Paging a switch module
You can use the beacon feature to page a switch module. The beacon feature causes both external
port Logged-in LEDs to flash, making it easier to locate the switch module you are paging. To page
a switch, in the Faceplate window, click Switch → Toggle Beacon. To cancel the beacon, click
Toggle Beacon.
Setting the date and time
Complete the following steps to set the date and time on a switch module:

Resetting a switch module
Resetting a switch module restarts the switch using configuration parameters in memory. You can
reset a switch module using the following methods:
• Select the switch module to be reset in the fabric tree. Click Switch → Reset Switch.
• Remove and then reinsert the Fibre Channel switch module in the SBCE unit.
Configuring a switch module
The SAN Utility is used to configure the switch module. Switch module configuration is divided
into two areas: chassis configuration and network configuration. Chassis configuration specifies
parameters that relate to switch module identity on the Fibre Channel network. Network
configuration specifies parameters that relate to switch module identity on the Ethernet network. To
open the Switch Properties window, click Switch → Switch Properties. You can also right-click a
switch graphic in the Topology window or Faceplate window and click Switch Properties.
Switch module properties
Use the Switch Properties window shown in Figure 15 on page 102 to change the module name,
administrative state and domain ID; to enable or disable broadcast support; and to enable or disable
inband management. The timeout values are displayed for reference purposes only when the switch
module is online. These fields become active when the switch module is taken offline. After making
changes, click OK to put the new values into effect.
