3 Fabric and switch management overview FIGURE 20 Switch Administration window, Switch tab With the exception of switch time, information displayed in the Switch Administration window is not updated automatically by Web Tools. To update the information displayed in the Switch Administration window, refer to "Refreshing the Switch Administration window" on page 41. ATTENTION Most changes you make in the Switch Administration window are buffered, and are not applied to the switch until you save the changes. If you close the Switch Administration window without saving your changes, your changes are lost. To save the buffered changes you make in the Switch Administration window to the switch, click Apply before closing the module or before switching to another tab. The License tab, Firmware Download tab, and the Security Policies tab are exceptions. The changes you make on these tabs take effect immediately and there is no Apply button. There is an Apply button in all the subtabs of security policies except ACL. You can also use Telnet commands to perform management tasks. Refer to "Opening a Telnet or SSH client window" on page 37 for information on how to launch a Telnet window using Web Tools. The remainder of this section describes basic Switch Administration window procedures that are useful for many switch management operations. 40 Web Tools Administrator's Guide 53-1001343-01
