ATTENTION  
Power up and connect cables to the switch  
The Brocade VA-40FC comes pre-configured in Access Gateway mode with the default F_Port-to-N_Port mappings (shown in Step  
5 of this guide). You do not need to configure Access Gateway if you use the default F_Port-to-N_Port mappings. You can change  
the default configuration using command line interface (CLI) or WebTools, after launching EZSwitchSetup as described below to  
configure an IP address that is reachable on your network.  
The Connect Cables screen shows you the connections you need to make.  
1.Connect the power cord to the switch and then to the  
power source (1). The power and status LEDs display  
amber then green. This can take from one to 3 minutes.  
Access Gateway mode can only be enabled or disabled when the VA-FC40 is in a disabled state. To deploy the Brocade VA-40FC  
as a traditional fabric switch with all fabric services enabled but without Access Gateway functionality, enter the switchDisable  
and then ag --modeDisable commands or perform the equivalent operations in WebTools. To deploy the switch in Access Gateway  
mode, enter the switchDisable command on the VA-40FC and enter the ag –modeEnable command or its WebTools equivalent.  
These operations are data disruptive and trigger an automatic reboot of the VA-40FC before it comes up in the new mode.  
2.Connect the switch and the set up computer to the  
same LAN, using Ethernet cables (3, 5) and an Ethernet  
hub or switch (2). Be sure the Ethernet hub or switch is  
connected to a power source (6).  
3.If you want to use a serial connection for setup,  
connect your set up computer COM port (7) to the serial  
port on the switch, using the serial cable shipped with  
the switch (4). The serial connections settings are as  
follows:
