switch, it displays the discovered IP addresses (IPv4 and IPv6) on the screen (Figure 8). If you are setting up the switch for the first time, the IP addresses are placeholder addresses that were assigned at the factory and you must provide valid addresses. 10 EZSwitchSetup Administrator's Guide - HP 1606 | EZSwitchSetup Administrator's Guide v6.4.0 (53-1001344-03, June 2010) - Page 23
. The options vary depending on the configuration of your switch: • Keep the current switch IP configuration. This option is available only if EZSwitchSetup detected a valid IP address. Skip to "Confirming IP addresses" on page 13. • Manually assign a new static IP address. If you select this option - HP 1606 | EZSwitchSetup Administrator's Guide v6.4.0 (53-1001344-03, June 2010) - Page 24

36. Zoning selection options The next step in configuring your switch is to select zoning. There are three choices: • Typical Zoning creates a port based zoning scheme based on the connections made on the Configure Ports and Connect Devices screen (Figure 16). This zoning scheme creates a two member - HP 1606 | EZSwitchSetup Administrator's Guide v6.4.0 (53-1001344-03, June 2010) - Page 30
