Requirements for IPv6 support

The maximum size of the webtools.log file is 2MB. It is rolled into new file when the 5mb file size
limit is exceeded. A backup file named webtools1.log is automatically created. Web Tools maintains
only one webtools.log backup file at a time.
The Web Tools debug dialog box can be used to enable the debug state and level for a module at
runtime.
If you are familiar with XML scripting, you can edit the configuration file (log4j.xml) to collect the
data at startup. If you edit the configuration file, Web Tools need to be restarted. Contact your
switch support supplier for assistance.
Requirements for IPv6 support
The following list provides requirements for Web Tools IPv6 support:
• In a pure IPv6 environment, you must configure your DNS maps to the IPv6 address of the
switch.
• The switch name is required to match the DNS name that is mapped to the IPv6 address.
• If both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are configured, Web Tools can be launched using any
configured IP address.
• Use a switch with v5.3.0 or later 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 is configured.
