The Other section of the Tasks menu provides access to Telnet tools.
NOTE
There are certain Fabric OS features that are available only on particular switch types, and the
system displays only the icons that are appropriate for the switch type.

Fabric Tree

Fabric Tree displays all switches in the fabric, even those that do not have a Web Tools license and
that are not owned by your selected Admin Domain. Switches that are not owned by the Admin
Domain are shown in the Fabric Tree with switch status. Fabric Tree does not display switches
segmented before you opened Web Tools.
Use the drop-down menu at the top of the Fabric Tree area to view switches in the Fabric Tree by
switch name, IP address, or WWN. The background color of the switch icon indicates the current
status of the switch. You can rest on the cursor over a switch to display the IP address and current
status. To manually refresh the status of a switch within the fabric, right-click the switch in the
Fabric Tree and select Refresh.
Although Fabric Tree displays all the switches in the fabric, you can manage switches that support
6.1 and later versions (does not requires Web Tools license), the versions earlier to 6.1 (requires a
Web Tools license), and, if applicable, an EGM license installed. Other switches must be managed
through the Fabric OS command line interface (CLI) or another management application or by using
DCFM Professional Edition or Enterprise Edition.

Changing the Admin Domain context

The Admin Domain field displays the currently selected Admin Domain and allows you to change to
a different one. The ability to change Admin Domain context requires that the EGM license is
enabled on the switch. Otherwise, the following error message displays
