Overview

Web Tools provides a graphical interface that enables an administrator to monitor
and manage entire fabrics and individual switches and ports from a standard
workstation.

Advantages of Web Tools

Web Tools is an excellent partner to the traditional Fabric OS CLI commands, and

strictly through a Command Line Interface.
The following are some of the features that make Web Tools an important part of
the switch management and administration process:

Web Tools can be used from a standard workstation and provides the user the
advantage of being "virtually" in front of any fabric, switch, or port.
Web Tools makes zoning a simple "click and drag" process, rather than
having to tediously type out IP addresses and port numbers to put in a
configuration.
Web Tools provides the "Performance Monitor" feature. This feature allows
you to view the status and traffic of a switch or port in seconds by easily
creating a variety of effective graphs.
Web Tools is easy and intuitive to use.
