Switching between virtual fabrics
To switch between one virtual fabric to another, perform the following steps:
1. Login to Web Tools using the User Specified Logical Fabric option.
You can enter the context name to login.
2. Select the context name from the Logical Switch drop-down list, you want to access.
The base switch has Base appended in the context name.
3. Click Yes on the Switch Virtual Fabric Context confirmation dialog box.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to switch to another virtual fabric.
Logging out
You can end a Web Tools session either by selecting Manage > Exit, or by closing the Switch
Explorer window.
You might be logged out of a session involuntarily, without explicitly selecting the Manage > Exit,
under the following conditions:
• You initiate a firmware download from Web Tool’s Switch Administration window. In this case,
you are logged out a few minutes later when the switch restarts.
• Your session times out.
Role-Based Access Control
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) defines the capabilities that a user account has based on the
assigned role. For each role, there is a set of predefined permissions on the jobs and tasks that can
be performed on a fabric and its associated fabric elements.
When you log in to a switch, your user account is associated with a predefined role. The role
determines the level of access you have on that switch and in the fabric. Table 5 describes these
roles.
For information about creating unique user account roles, refer to “User-defined accounts” on
page 163.
