Opening the telnet window 3 The remainder of this section describes basic Switch Administration window procedures that are useful for many switch management operations. OPENING THE SWITCH ADMINISTRATION WINDOW Most of the management procedures in this chapter are performed from the Switch Administration window. To open the Switch Administration window 1. Select a switch in Fabric Tree. The switch is displayed in Switch View. 2. Click Switch Admin in the Manage section of the Tasks menu. The Switch Administration window opens in basic mode, as shown in Figure 15 on page 30. The basic mode displays the "basic" tabs and options. 3. To see all the tabs and options, click the Show Advanced Mode button. REFRESHING THE SWITCH ADMINISTRATION WINDOW You can refresh the fabric element information displayed at any time using the following procedure. Note that when you click a different tab in the Switch Administration window, the information in the newly selected tab is automatically refreshed. To refresh the fabric information 1. Click the Refresh button on any tabbed page of the Switch Administration window. Opening the telnet window When you open a telnet window, the connection is to the IP interface of the switch. For each switch, you must open a telnet window. You cannot connect to CP blades that do not have separate IP addresses. Also, you cannot connect using Web Tools to a CP blade on a director switch even when the blade has an IP address and supports telnet sessions. See the Fabric OS Command Reference for information about the telnet commands. NOTE Telnet access to a switch and the Telnet button in Web Tools are both disabled when secure mode is enabled for a fabric. You must use sectelnet or SSH to access the Fabric OS command line interface in a secure fabric. These capabilities are not accessible from Web Tools. For more information on sectelnet or SSH, see the Secure Fabric OS Administrator's Guide. Internet Explorer 7.0 default settings disable telnet functionality. If you are using Internet Explorer 7.0, you must make the appropriate changes in the registry to open the telnet window. Web Tools Administrator's Guide 31 Publication Number: 53-1000435-01
