Free Professional Management tool

You can use the Professional Management tool with Web Tools to view connectivity for each fabric,
to back up and restore last-known configurations, and more. You can also use it with the Enhanced
Group Management license to manage groups of switches, download firmware, manage security
settings, and deploy configurations across groups of switches. Contact your preferred storage
supplier to get a complimentary copy of the Professional Management tool.
Launch the install wizard for the free Professional Management tool through the link located at the
bottom of the Switch Explorer.

Displaying tool tips

When you rest the cursor over a Web Tools button, the system displays a brief description of the
button. If you rest the cursor over most components, the system displays tool tip information about
the component.
In the Fabric Tree you can rest the cursor over a switch to view its type, Ethernet IP, IPFC, and status
of the switch.
In Switch View, you can rest the cursor over a blade to view the blade ID and its status. It is easier to
use the top of the blade to display the tool tip so that you do not inadvertently display the port tool
tips. Firmware versions and IP addressing are displayed for CP blades.
When you rest the cursor over a port, you can view the port number, port index, port type (E, F, L, or
U_Port), port status (online or offline), and port state (in-sync, no_sync, no light, or no module). If
you right-click the port, the system displays the tool tip information and the port world-wide name.
