19 Table 19-1 Web Tools Limitations (Continued) Area Details Refresh option in browsers If you change the switch name using the Web Tools Switch Admin page or SNMP and then open a telnet window to verify the name change, the CLI prompt (for example, switch:admin>) displays the previous name. The telnet prompt cannot pick up the new switch name until the switch is fastbooted. Workaround: In order to display the correct switch name in the CLI prompt after a switch name update using Web Tools or SNMP, fastboot the switch. Refresh option in browsers Following a switch enable or disable, you must wait at least 25-30 seconds for the fabric to reconfigure and for FSPF route calculations to complete before requesting routing information. If accessed too early, routing information will not be shown. Workaround: Following a switch enable or disable, wait at least 25-30 seconds before further action. Refresh option in browsers The Web Tools Switch Explorer might continue to display a switch from the Switch View, even when the switch has been removed from the fabric. Workaround: If this behavior is seen, relaunch the Switch Explorer. If the switch was removed from the fabric, the Fabric View window will list the switch as unavailable. Refresh option in browsers In the Switch Admin module, Switch tab, if you click the Refresh button, you might not be able to click the data entry fields to enter text. This behavior occasionally happens on a notebook or laptop computer; it rarely happens on a desktop computer. Workaround: If this happens, you should close the browser window and restart it. Switch Explorer closure If a session times out or you log out or close the Switch Explorer window, all other windows belonging to the session are invalidated. After a short delay these windows become grayed out and unusable, but are not closed automatically. You must manually close these windows. Switch View Occasionally, switches might display the port icons correctly, but be missing one or more control button icons. Workaround: Close the Switch View of the switch and reopen it. Windows Operating Systems Occasionally, you will not see the "Lost connection to the switch" message on the Switch View, even though the Ethernet connection has been lost. You might still be able to invoke various features from Switch View, such as Status, Fan Temp, Power, and Beacon. This problem might be seen in the SilkWorm 24000, for example, when you see the "Lost connection to the switch" error for a single switch in the chassis, when a lost connection affects both logical switches. Workaround: Verify Ethernet connection to the switch by pinging the logical switch IP address. Web Tools Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-0000194-01 19-5
