Refresh option in
browsers
When a pop-up window requesting a user response is pushed into the
background and a refresh is requested, a fatal Internet Explorer error may
occur.
Workaround: Restart the browser.
Refresh option in
browsers
Web Tools must be restarted when the Ethernet IP address is changed using
the NetworkConfig View command. Web Tools appears to hang if it is not
restarted after this operation is executed.
Workaround: Restart the browser.
Refresh option in
browsers
If you change the switch name or domain ID using the CLI after the Web
Tools Switch Admin module has started, the new switch name or domain ID
will not be updated on the header of the Switch Admin page. Clicking the
Refresh button will not fix the problem.
Workaround: Click the Switch tab and the Switch Admin header will
update.
Refresh option in
browsers
If you change the switch name using the Web Tools Switch Admin page or
SNMP and then open a telnet window to verify the name change, the CLI
prompt (for example, switch:admin>) displays the previous name. The telnet
prompt cannot pick up the new switch name until the switch is fastbooted.
Workaround: In order to display the correct switch name in the CLI prompt
after a switch name update using Web Tools or SNMP, fastboot the switch.
Refresh option in

Following a switch enable or disable, you must wait at least 25–30 seconds
for the fabric to reconfigure and for FSPF route calculations to complete
before requesting routing information. If accessed too early, routing
information will not be shown.
Workaround: Following a switch enable or disable, wait at least 25–30
seconds before further action.
Refresh option in
browsers
The Web Tools Switch Explorer might continue to display a switch from the
Switch View, even when the switch has been removed from the fabric.
Workaround: If this behavior is seen, relaunch the Switch Explorer. If the
switch was removed from the fabric, the Fabric View window will list the
switch as unavailable.
Refresh option in
browsers
In the Switch Admin module, Switch tab, if you click the Refresh button, you
might not be able to click the data entry fields to enter text. This behavior
occasionally happens on a notebook or laptop computer; it rarely happens on
a desktop computer.
Workaround: If this happens, you should close the browser window and
restart it.
Switch Explorer
closure
If upfront login is enabled, and the session times out or you log out or close
the Switch Explorer window, all other windows belonging to the session are
invalidated. After a short delay these windows become grayed out and
unusable, but are not closed automatically. You must manually close these
windows.
