Figure 3-1 Switch Admin Module
With the exception of switch time, information displayed in the Switch Admin module is not updated
automatically by Web Tools. To update the information displayed in the Switch Admin module, see
“Refreshing the Switch Admin Module” on page 3-3.
Some of the management tasks for the SilkWorm 24000 and 48000 directors are performed through the
Hi Avail module. This module and the associated tasks are described in “Administering High
Availability” on page 3-16.
You can also use telnet commands to perform management tasks. See “Launching the Telnet Window”
on page 3-3 for information on how to launch a telnet window using Web Tools.
The remainder of this section describes basic Switch Admin module procedures that are useful for many
switch management operations.

Any changes you make in the Switch Admin module are in a buffered environment and are not applied
to the switch until you save the changes. (The exception to this is the License tab, where changes are
applied immediately and there is no Apply button.) If you close the Switch Admin module without
saving your changes, your changes are lost. To save the buffered changes you make in the Switch Admin
module to the switch, click Apply before closing the module or before switching to another tab.
