Session management

Sometimes you might be logged out of a session involuntarily, without explicitly clicking the Logout

button. You are automatically logged out when:

• A physical fabric administrator changes the contents of your currently selected Admin Domain.

• Your currently selected Admin Domain is removed or invalidated.

• Your currently selected Admin Domain is removed from your Admin Domain list.

• You initiate a firmware download from the Web Tools Switch Administration window. In this

case, you are logged out a few minutes later when the switch reboots.

• Your session times out.

To end the Web Tools session

Perform one of the following:

• Click Logout in Switch Explorer.

• Click the X in the upper-right corner of Switch Explorer window to close it.

• Click Cancel on the log in the dialog box.

• Close all open Web Tools windows.

NOTE

When you click the Logout button in Switch Explorer, Web Tools might leave the Temperature, Fan,

Power, or Fabric Event windows open. You must manually close these windows.

REQUIREMENTS FOR IPV6 SUPPORT

The following lists requirements for Web Tools IPv6 support:

• In pure IPv6 environment, you must configure DNS maps to IPv6 address of the switch.

• The switch name is required to match DNS name that is mapped to IPv6 address.

• If both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses have been configured, Web Tools uses the IPv4 address to

launch switch.

• Use a switch that has v5.3.0 or later release firmware to manage a mixed fabric of IPv4 and

IPv6 switches.

• Switches running on version 5.2.0 no not discover IPv6 address-only switches in the same

fabric, until the IPv4 address has been configured.

• IPv6 address cannot be used to directly launch switch from Windows environment; it can be

used in Unix and Linux environment.
