Installing a Web Tools license through a Web site

If you open Web Tools from any nonlicensed switch, the software automatically displays the license

dialog box. If the fabric already contains at least one licensed switch, you can use Web Tools to view

and license other switches from the licensed switch.

If you do not have a switch that has a Web Tools license installed on it, Web Tools is active for only

30 days from the date that the switch is activated. After the 30 day period, the Web Tools

functionality is disabled, and error messages appear in the logs and on the console to inform you

that you must have a Web Tools license to access the feature.

1. Open the Web browser and type the IP address of the switch in the Location/Address field:

http://10.77.77.77

2. Press Enter.

If a Web Tools license is already installed on the switch, Web Tools opens. If no license is

installed, a license dialog box appears.

3. If the license dialog box appears, follow the instructions provided.

Installing other licenses through the Web

1. Open the Web browser and type the IP address of the licensed switch in the Location/Address

field:

http://10.77.77.77

2. Press Enter.

3. On Web Tools Switch Explorer, click the switch to which you want to add a license.

4. On the licensing window, follow the instructions that are provided.
