Overview

Web Tools EZ is a simplified version of Web Tools. It simplifies switch management by providing an

easy-to-use subset of basic switch-management tasks.

Web Tools EZ works for a single switch fabric only. It displays only the launch switch and associated

tasks, without fabric information.

Web Tools EZ supports the following switches running firmware version 5.0.1. It does not support

chassis-based switches.

• SilkWorm 200E

• SilkWorm 3250

The illustrations in this chapter show examples of the SilkWorm 200E switch. If you have a SilkWorm

3250 switch, your screens might vary.

You can use Web Tools EZ to do the following:

• monitor the switch, including port and FRU status

• manage basic zoning

• perform basic switch configurations

Figure 2-1 on page 2-2 shows an example of the initial Web Tools EZ screen. The following sections

describe the components of the screen.
