General Web Tools limitations

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
Refresh option in
browsers Web Tools must be restarted when the Ethernet IP address is changed using the
NetworkConfig View command. Web Tools appears to hang if it is not restarted after
this operation is executed.
Workaround: Restart the browser.
Refresh option in
browsers If you change the switch name or domain ID using the CLI after the Web Tools Switch
Administration window has started, the new switch name or domain ID is not updated
on the header of the Switch Administration page. Clicking the Refresh button does not
fix the problem.
Workaround: Click the Switch tab and the Switch Administration header updates.
Refresh option in
browsers If you change the switch name using the Web Tools Switch Administration page or
SNMP and then open a Telnet window to verify the name change, the CLI prompt (for
example, switch:admin >) displays the previous name. The Telnet prompt cannot pick
up the new switch name until the switch is fastbooted.
Workaround: In order to display the correct switch name in the CLI prompt after a switch
name update using Web Tools or SNMP, fastboot the switch.
Refresh option in
browsers Following a switch enable or disable, you must wait at least 25–30 seconds for the
fabric to reconfigure and for FSPF route calculations to complete before requesting
routing information. If accessed too early, routing information are not shown.
Workaround: Following a switch enable or disable, wait at least 25–30 seconds before
further action.
Refresh option in
browsers The Web Tools Switch Explorer might continue to display a switch from the Switch View,
even when the switch has been removed from the fabric.
Workaround: If this behavior is seen, relaunch Switch Explorer. If the switch was
removed from the fabric, the Fabric View window lists the switch as unavailable.
Refresh option in
browsers In the Switch Administration window, Switch tab, if you click the Refresh button, you
might not be able to click the data entry fields to enter text. This behavior occasionally
happens on a notebook or laptop computer; it rarely happens on a desktop computer.
Workaround: If this happens, you should close the browser window and restart it.
Switch Explorer closure If a session times out or you log out or close Switch Explorer window, all other windows
belonging to the session are invalidated. After a short delay these windows become
unusable, but are not closed automatically. You must manually close these windows.
Switch View Occasionally, switches might display the port icons correctly, but be missing one or
more control button icons.
Workaround: Close the Switch View of the switch and reopen it.
Windows Operating
Systems Occasionally, you will not see the “Lost connection to the switch” message on the
Switch View, even though the Ethernet connection has been lost. You might still be able
to invoke various features from Switch View, such as Status, Fan Temp, Power, and
Beacon.
Workaround: Verify Ethernet connection to the switch by pinging the logical switch IP
address.
Windows Operating
Systems While working on Internet Explorer 6.0, when the user launches Switch Explorer it
initially does not activate. Click the window once with the mouse, press the ESC key, the
Space Bar, or Enter to activate the window. This is applicable in all applets launched
using IE 6.0.
Workaround: This is not seen while working on Firefox.
