Managing fabrics and switches using Web Tools

If the switch is not a member of the selected Admin Domain, most tabs in the Switch
Administration window display in read-only mode, regardless of what permission level you have.
The User tab is editable because most of the information on it does not require switch membership
in the current Admin Domain.

With the exception of switch time, information displayed in the Switch Administration window is not
updated automatically by Web Tools. To update the information displayed in the Switch
Administration window, see “Refreshing the Switch Administration window” on page 31.
ATTENTION
Most changes you make in the Switch Administration window are buffered, and are not applied to
the switch until you save the changes. If you close the Switch Administration window without saving
your changes, your changes are lost. To save the buffered changes you make in the Switch
Administration window to the switch, click Apply before closing the module or before switching to
another tab. The License tab is an exception. Any changes you make on the License tab are applied
immediately and there is no Apply button.
Some of the management tasks for the Brocade 24000 and 48000 directors are performed
through the High Availability window. This module and the associated tasks are described in
“Administering High Availability” on page 45.
You can also use telnet commands to perform management tasks. See “Opening the telnet
window” on page 31 for information on how to launch a telnet window using Web Tools.
