Web Tools
When the regional language is set to anything other than English, Brazilian
Portuguese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Traditional Chi nese,
Simplified Chinese or Spanish, Web Tools may not finish loading when
connecting to a switch running FOS 5.3.0, 5.3.0a or 5.3.0b. The Switch Explorer
progress bar hangs while initializing switch details. This problem is overcome by
changing the regional settings for the operating system to English and reloading
Web Tools or by upgrading to 5.3.0c or later.
