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 6.2.0, see Table 3. Web Tools supports both HTTP and

HTTPS protocol.

1. Open the Web browser and type the IP address of the device in the Address field:

http://10.77.77.77

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 12 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.

If you have installed EZSwitchSetup on your workstation, the EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager

displays the first time you access the device. EZSwitchSetup provides an easy to use wizard

interface that may be used to simplify the initial setup procedure for smaller switches. 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. This book describes only the

Web Tools interface.
