Page 15: Information Accessible From Fabric View
Switch status is calculated approximately once per second; however Note the initial calculation does not occur until 30–60 seconds after the switch is booted. It is calculated from the state of data structures in the switch, and stored as the variable “switchStatus”. For all statuses that are based on errors per time interval, any errors will cause the status to show faulty until the entire sample interval has passed.
Page 16: Information Accessible From Switch View
Switch Events View Displays the error log for the switch. Click the Events icon on the switch panel to access, or access through Switch View (see “Switch Events View” page 16). Telnet Interface Provides an interface for using Telnet commands for switch diagnostics, troubleshooting, and fabric management.

Page 23: Installing The Java Plug-In On The Workstation
Installing the Java Plug-in on the Workstation A Java Plug-in must be installed on the workstation for the correct operation of Web Tools. The required version depends on the operating system. Installing the Java Plug-in on Windows 2000 or NT Windows 95, 98, 2000 and NT workstations require Java Plug-in version 1.2.2-007 or later.
Page 24: Launching Web Tools
Launching Web Tools You can launch Web Tools once the Java Plug-in is installed on the client machine. To launch Web Tools: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. Enter the switch name or IP address in the Location/Address field (for example: http://switchname/) and press Enter. Web Tools launches, displaying the Fabric View.
Page 25: Using Web Tools
USING WEB TOOLS This chapter describes the views and interfaces available through Web Tools. Switches can be accessed through different methods, such as through Note the Front Panel, Telnet, SNMP, and the web, any of which can occur simultaneously. To verify that modifications are correctly applied, ensure that the switch is modified from only one connection at a time.
Page 26 To launch Web Tools and access Fabric View: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. Enter the switch name or IP address in the Location/Address field and press Enter. For example: http://switchname/. This switch is assumed to be the local domain. For information Note specific to a QuickLoop to be available, the QuickLoop switch must be the host domain.
