v4.2.x

operating system (with supported

browser)

Browser: Any supported browser (on a

supported operating system)

The Name Server table does not display properly for

a switch running firmware versions earlier than Fabric

OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x.

Workaround: If Secure mode is enabled, select a

switch running Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x or

later as the primary FCS switch. If Secure mode is not

enabled, use a launch switch running Fabric OS

v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or v4.2.x or later to access the Name

Server table on the switch.

Firmware: Earlier than Fabric OS v2.6.2,

v3.1.2, or v4.2.x

Any switches running Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or

v4.2.x or later are unsupported through Netscape.

Workaround: Netscape is not a supported browser

for switches running Fabric OS v2.6.2, v3.1.2, or

v4.2.x or later. Use Mozilla browser to manage all of

your switches from a Solaris operating system. See

Table 1 for supported browsers.

Firmware: Earlier than Fabric OS v2.6.1,

v3.0.x, or v4.0.x
