Activating Fabric Watch

Activating with Telnet

To activate Fabric Watch using telnet commands:

1. Log in as admin.

2. Type licenseShow at the prompt to view a list of activated licenses.

If the Fabric Watch license is not listed, continue to step 3; otherwise, you are ready to use Fabric

Watch.

3. Type licenseAdd “key”, where key is the Fabric Watch license key. License keys are case-sensitive,

so type the license key exactly as it appears.

4. To verify successful activation, type licenseShow. If the license is not listed, verify that you typed

the key correctly; if you did not, then repeat step 3.

If you still do not see the license, verify that the entered key is valid, and that the license key is

correct before repeating step 3.

5. Type fwClassinit to initialize the Fabric Watch classes.

Activating with Web Tools

To activate Fabric Watch using Web Tools:

1. Launch your Web browser, type the switch name or the IP address of the switch in the Address field

(for example, http://111.222.33.1), and press Enter.

The Web Tools log in window displays.
