Opening the Switch Administration window
Most of the management procedures in this chapter are performed from the Switch Administration
window.
1. Select a switch in Fabric Tree.
The switch is displayed in Switch View.
2. Click Switch Admin in the Manage section of the Tasks menu.
The Switch Administration window opens in basic mode, as shown in Figure 16 on page 30.
The basic mode displays the “basic” tabs and options.
3. To see all the tabs and options, click the Show Advanced Mode button.
Refreshing the Switch Administration window
You can refresh the fabric element information displayed at any time using the following procedure.
Note that when you click a different tab in the Switch Administration window, the information in the
newly selected tab is automatically refreshed.
1. Click the Refresh button on any tabbed page of the Switch Administration window.
Configuring IP and netmask information
Before proceeding, collect all the information you need to configure the Ethernet IP interface. This
includes the subnet mask, gateway IP address, or Fibre Channel IP interface and subnet mask for
your system.
When you configure the Ethernet IP, subnet mask, gateway IP, or Fibre Channel IP and subnet mask
from Web Tools, there is a normal loss of network connection to the switch. If the IP properties have
changed, you must close all current windows and restart Web Tools with the new IP address.
1. Open the Switch Administration window as described on page 31.
