Requirements for IPv6 support

Web Tools does not display a warning when the session is about to time out. If your session ends
due to inactivity, all Web Tools windows become invalid and you must restart Web Tools and log in
again.
Web Tools enables sessions to both secure and nonsecure switches.
Access rights for your session are determined by your role-based access rights and by the contents
of your selected Admin Domain. After you log in, you can change to a different Admin Domain at any
time; however, you cannot change your role-based permissions.
Ending a Web Tools session
To end a Web Tools session, perform one of the following actions:
• Click Logout in Switch Explorer.
• Click the X in the upper-right corner of Switch Explorer window to close it.
• Close all open Web Tools windows.
NOTE
If you click the Logout button in Switch Explorer, and Web Tools leaves the Temperature, Fan, Power,
or Fabric Event windows open, you must manually close them.
Requirements for IPv6 support
The following list provides requirements for Web Tools IPv6 support:
• In pure IPv6 environment, you must configure DNS maps to IPv6 address of the switch.
• The switch name is required to match DNS name that is mapped to IPv6 address.
• If both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses have been configured, Web Tools uses the IPv4 address to
launch the switch.
• Use a switch that has v5.3.0 or later release firmware to manage a mixed fabric of IPv4 and
IPv6 switches.
• Switches running on version 5.2.0 do not discover IPv6 address-only switches in the same
fabric, until the IPv4 address has been configured.
• An IPv6 address cannot be used to directly launch a switch from a Windows environment; it
can be used in Unix and Linux environment.
• The FCIP wizard does not support IPv6. If IPv6 interfaces, routes, and tunnels are configured
on the switch, the wizard displays them, but does not allow the user to modify them.
