Opening Web Tools
You can open Web Tools on any workstation with a compatible Web browser installed. For a list of
Web browsers compatible with Fabric OS 6.1.0, see Table 1. Web Tools also supports HTTPS
protocol, if that protocol is enabled for the switch. For more information on enabling the HTTPS
protocol on your switch, see the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide.
1. Open the Web browser and type the IP address of the licensed switch in the Address field:
http://10.77.77.77
or
https://10.77.77.77
2. Press Enter.
A browser window opens to open Web Tools. A Login dialog box opens. See “Logging in” on
page 9 for more information. If you are using Firefox, the browser window is left open. You can
close it anytime after the Login dialog box appears. If you are using Internet Explorer, the
browser window automatically closes when the login dialog box appears.
What happens next depends on the switch type:
• For the Brocade 200E, 300, 4012, 4016, 4018, 4020, 4024, 4100, 4900, 5000, 5100, and
5300 switches, one of the following opens, depending on the switch configuration:
- EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager
This interface opens if the switch has already been set up and is configured with
EZSwitchSetup. See the EZSwitchSetup Administrator’s Guide for information about the
EZSwitchSetup interface.
If you want to use Web Tools instead of EZSwitchSetup, click Advanced Management in the
lower-left corner of the window to open the Web Tools interface.
- Web Tools (see Figure 6 on page 9)
The interface opens if the switch is configured with the command line interface (CLI) or
Web Tools.
• For the Brocade AP7420, the Web Tools—AP Edition interface opens. See the Web Tools—AP
Edition Administrator’s Guide for information on using the Web Tools—AP Edition interface for
the Brocade AP7420.
• For all other switches, the Web Tools interface opens.
This book describes only the Web Tools interface.
