Value Line Licenses
If your fabric includes a switch with a limited switch license and you are launching Web Tools using
that switch, if the fabric exceeds the switch limit indicated in the license, Web Tools allows a 45-day
“grace period” in which you can still monitor the switch through Web Tools. However, Web Tools will
display warning messages periodically.
These messages warn you that your fabric size exceeds the supported switch configuration limit and
tells you how long you have before Web Tools will be disabled. After the 45-day grace period, you will
no longer be able to launch Web Tools from the switch with the limited switch license if that switch is
still exceeding the switch limit.
Value line fabric licensing is applicable only to SilkWorm 3250 and 3850 switches. These licenses are
indicated by “2 Domain Fabric” and “4 Domain Fabric” in the License tab of the Switch Admin
module. Refer to “Maintaining Licensed Features” on page 4-16 for more information.
Switch Support
You can use Web Tools v5.0.1 with the following hardware:
• SilkWorm 200E switch

Web Tools is part of the Fabric OS of a switch. When you launch Web Tools on a switch, you can
manage other switches in the fabric that have lower or higher firmware versions. It is important to note
that when accessing these switches you are opening the remote switch’s version of Web Tools, and the
functionality available for those switches might vary.
