EZSwitchSetup is a specialized graphical user interface (GUI) application designed by Brocade (now Broadcom) to simplify the initial deployment and management of Fibre Channel (FC) storage area network (SAN) switches. By using a wizard-driven approach, it allows administrators—even those without deep SAN expertise—to move from unboxing to a fully functional switch in just a few steps.
