When you launch the Web Tools EZ switch setup wizard or Web Tools EZ, the interface detects the
operating system and language environment and installs and displays the appropriate language.
For example, if you set up the switch using a German operating system, Web Tools EZ installs the
German language interface and displays text, messages, and labels in that language.
If localization resources are not fully available in the user host environment, Web Tools EZ uses the
default language, English, for display.
The following are exceptions to the localization support:
No localization support for user input. User input must consist of printable ASCII characters.
Switch-based information (such as firmware version and switch name) are not localized.
Some globally accepted industry terms (such as SAN and HBA) might not be localized.
The End User License Agreement (EULA) is not localized.
Launching Web Tools
You can launch Web Tools on any workstation with a compatible Web browser installed. For a list of
Web browsers compatible with Fabric OS v5.0.1, refer to Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 on page 1-2. Web
Tools also supports HTTPS protocol, if that protocol is enabled for the switch. For more information on
enabling the HTTPS protocol on your switch, refer to the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
To launch Web Tools
1. Launch the Web browser and type the IP address of the licensed switch in the Address field:
http://10.77.77.77
or
https://10.77.77.77
2. Press Enter.
Depending on how the switch is configured, you might be prompted to log in to the switch at this
time. Refer to “Logging In” on page 1-10 for more information.
What happens next depends on the switch type:
For the SilkWorm 200E and 3250 switches, one of the following launches, depending on the
switch configuration:
- Web Tools EZ switch setup wizard
This interface launches if the switch is an out-of-box switch and is configured with Basic User
mode enabled. (If Basic User mode is enabled, then entering the switch IP address in a browser
window launches Web Tools EZ instead of Web Tools.)
