Page 21: Introducing Web Tools
Chapter Introducing Web Tools Brocade Web Tools is a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables administrators to monitor and manage single or small fabrics, switches, and ports from a standard workstation. It is an optionally-licensed product that runs on Brocade Fabric OS. Web Tools provides the administrative control point for Brocade Advanced Fabric Services, including Advanced Zoning, ISL Trunking, Advanced Performance Monitoring, and Fabric Watch.

Page 35: Role-Based Access Control
Role-Based Access Control Before you implement Admin Domains, you must set the default zoning mode. See “Enabling administrative domains” on page 83 for additional information. You cannot perform any zoning operations from AD255. Role-Based Access Control Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) defines the capabilities that a user account has based on the role the account has been assigned.

Configuring a switch NOTE It is recommended that you customize the chassis name for each switch. Some system messages identify a switch service by the chassis name, so if you assign meaningful chassis names in addition to meaningful switch names, logs will be more useful. You change the chassis name using the CLI. See the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for instructions on changing the chassis name.
Page 56: Rebooting The Switch
Rebooting the switch Rebooting the switch When you reboot the switch, the reboot takes effect immediately. Ensure that there is no traffic or other management on the switch, as traffic is interrupted during the reboot; however, frames are not dropped. Be sure to save your changes before the reboot, as any changes that were not saved are lost.

Configuring ports When the wizard prompts you to select allowed port types, if all of these boxes are selected, there are no constraints on port type. The port will negotiate to its preferred type when the switch comes up, depending on what type of device or switch it is connected to. Clearing a check box guarantees that the port will not attempt to function as a port of the unchecked type.
Page 88: Configuring Gbe Ports
Assigning a name to a port If you configure a disabled port as a VEX_Port, the wizard provides the Enable Port after configuration check box. If you select this check box, the disabled port is automatically enabled after configuration. If you leave this check box cleared, the port remains in the same state after configuration.

Page 102: User-Defined Admin Domains
About administrative domains User-defined Admin Domains AD1 through AD254 are user-defined Admin Domains. These user-defined Admin Domains can be created only by a physical fabric administrator in AD255. System-defined Admin Domains AD0 and AD255 are special Admin Domains and are present in every AD-capable fabric. AD0 is a system-defined Admin Domain that, in addition to containing members you explicitly added (similar to user-defined Admin Domains), it contains all online devices, switches, and switch ports that have not been assigned to any user-defined Admin Domain.
Page 103: Admin Domain Membership
Enabling administrative domains You can use AD255 to: • Manage other Admin Domains. • Get an unfiltered view of the fabric. • Manage ACL and distribution (can be managed in AD0 if no other Admin Domains are present). • Advanced Performance Monitoring (can be managed in AD0 if no other Admin Domains are present).
Page 104 Using the Admin Domain window FIGURE 39 Admin Domain window, summary view The Admin Domain window displays information about the Admin Domains defined in the fabric. If you launch the Admin Domain window from AD255 (physical fabric), the window contains information about the current content of all Admin Domains.
