TABLE 1 EZSwitchSetup Switch Manager Limitations

Problem Area Details

HTTP timeout Very often, you might see the following message when you try to get data from a switch

or to send a request to the switch:

Failed to get switch response. Please verify the status

of your last operation and try again if necessary.

This indicates that an HTTP request did not get a response. The request was sent to the

switch, but the connection was down, probably caused by a temporary loss of the Web

server on the switch. Due to the nature of an HTTP connection, Switch Manager will

report this error after a 90-second default timeout.

In this case, verify the status of your last request, using telnet to check related status,

or click the Refresh button in the Switch Manager to retrieve related data. If your

request did not get through to the switch, resubmit it. Executing a refresh from Switch

Manager retrieves a copy of switch data at that moment; the data you entered can be

lost if it had not already committed to the switch.
