Displaying switches in the fabric

If your fabric has more than one switch, you can launch Advanced Web Tools from one switch and then
access other switches.

Accessing the Switch Explorer for a particular switch

The Switch Explorer is displayed for the switch you logged in to. The Fabric Tree is expanded by
default when you first launch Advanced Web Tools.

Ending the Advanced Web Tools session

You can end your Advanced Web Tools session either by logging out or by closing the Switch Explorer
browser window.
A session times out if it has been inactive for longer than two hours. If the session times out, you must
restart Advanced Web Tools and log in again. See
information about sessions.

Ending the Advanced Web Tools session

Click Logout in the Switch Explorer (the logout button is displayed only if upfront login is enabled) or click
the X in the upper-right corner of the Switch Explorer browser window to close the window.

Using Advanced Web Tools and secure mode

When secure mode is enabled on switches you manage through Advanced Web Tools, there are certain
requirements and scenarios you should be aware of. You should read through the requirements and
scenarios in this section if you plan to use Advanced Web Tools to manage any switches that have secure
mode enabled.

Advanced Web Tools access and HTTP_POLICY

When secure mode is enabled, access to the Advanced Web Tools interface is controlled by
HTTP_POLICY. If secure mode is enabled and HTTP_POLICY has been defined, your workstation IP
address must be included in this policy or you will not have access to Advanced Web Tools for any switch
in the fabric. If your workstation IP address is not included in this policy, the Interface Disabled page is
displayed when you attempt to access a switch. For instructions on including your workstation in
HTTP_POLICY, see the HP StorageWorks Secure Fabric OS administrator guide.
NOTE: If a secure mode change is made in the fabric—that is, secure mode is enabled, secure mode is
disabled, or there is a change to the primary FCS—you must exit and relaunch Advanced Web Tools. If
Advanced Web Tools is kept open after a secure mode change occurs, behavior is undefined.
