4.2.0

4.2.0, or later, are unsupported through Netscape.
Workaround: The Netscape browser is not supported by
Advanced Web Tools for switches running Fabric OS
2.6.2, 3.1.2, 4.2.0, or later. Use Mozilla browser version

Issue: If you try to run Fabric View with a large fabric, the
browser might crash.
Workaround: Use a launch switch that runs Fabric OS
2.6.1, 3.0.x, 4.0.x, or later, so that you can use Switch
Explorer, rather than Fabric View.
Firmware: Fabric OS 5.0.1+
Operating system: Any supported OS with a supported
browser
Browser: Internet Explorer and Mozilla
Issue: If you upgrade from Fabric OS 4.x to 5.x, you must
upgrade your Java plug-in version to 1.4.2_06 from any
earlier version installed on your system.
Workaround: For Internet Explorer, before launching
Advanced Web Tools, check your Java plug-in version. If
you have a version earlier than 1.4.2_06, you must
uninstall it. When you launch Advanced Web Tools and
you see a warning about a missing plug-in, follow the
prompts. This procedure ensures that the correct plug-in
version is installed.
For Mozilla, follow the Mozilla Java plug-in installation
instructions to install Java 1.4.2_06.
