Viewing Switch Explorer
The first thing you see when you log in to a switch with Web Tools is Switch Explorer, shown in the
following figure. Switch Explorer is divided into tabs and areas that provide access to, and information,
about the switch and fabric. The Switch Explorer areas are:
• Three tabs - Switch View, Port Admin, and Name Server.
If Access Gateway is enabled, the Access Gateway Devices tab displays instead of Name Server.
For more information, refer to Using the Access Gateway on page 175.
The Fabric Tree under Switch View displays a list of all the switches in the fabric.
• The menu bar, at the top of the window, provides access to the following tasks:
‐ Viewing tasks, such as the switch view, port administration, and name server.
‐ Configuration tasks, such as switch administration, zone administration, fabric watch, and
switch status policy.
NOTE
You can manage basic zoning and Traffic Isolation zoning using Web Tools and Web Tools
with the Enhanced Group Management (EGM) license. To perform clone operations for
zoning, the EGM license must be installed on the switch; otherwise, access to this feature is
denied and an error message displays. You must use Brocade Network Advisor to print the
zone database summary configuration and to analyze zone configurations. For more
information on zoning management, refer to Zone configuration and zoning database
management on page 151.
‐ Monitoring tasks, such as performance monitoring, system monitoring, and viewing the
power, temperature, or fan status.
NOTE
To perform monitoring tasks such as performance monitoring, the EGM license must be
installed on the switch; otherwise, access to this feature is denied and an error message
displays.
