Switch Explorer is divided into areas that provide access to, and information about, the switch and fabric. The following are the Switch Explorer areas: • The left pane provides Tasks and Fabric Tree areas. The Tasks area lets you perform management, monitoring, and other tasks. The Fabric Tree displays a list of all the switches in the fabric. • A menu bar, at the top of the window, provides access to commands and actions. The menu bar displays the same commands as the left pane of Switch Explorer. If you choose to collapse the left pane, you still have access to: • Management tasks, such as zone administration, switch administration, port administration, admin domain administration, and Fabric Watch administration. NOTE You can manage basic zoning and Traffic Isolation zoning using Web Tools and Web Tools with the Enhanced Group Management (EGM) license. To perform clone operations for zoning, the EGM license must be installed on the switch; otherwise, access to this feature is denied and an error message displays. The EGM license is required only for 8 Gbps platforms, such as the Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, the Encryption Switch, the 300, 5100, and 5300 switches. For non-8 Gbps platforms, all functionalities are available without EGM license. Web Tools Administrator's Guide 19 53-1001343-01
