2 Disabled Functionality 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 CLI 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. The SNMP Access Control List is replaced with RSNMP_POLICY and WSNMP_POLICY when secure mode is enabled for a fabric. The SNMP Access Control List is not displayed in Web Tools. Working with Web Tools: Recommendations Listed below are recommendations for working with Web Tools: • In a mixed fabric-that is a fabric containing switches and directors running v5.x, v4.x, v3.x, and v2.x firmware-use the most advanced switches or directors to control the fabric. For example, use the v5.2.0 switches or directors as the primary FCS, the location to perform zoning tasks, and the time server (CLI). You should use the most recently released firmware on your switches. • If switches are accessed simultaneously from different connections (for example, Web Tools, CLI, and API), changes from one connection might not be updated to the other, and some modifications might be lost. Make sure when connecting with simultaneous multiple connections that you do not overwrite the work of another connection. • Several tasks in Web Tools make fabric-level changes: for example, the tasks in the Zone Admin module. When executing fabric-level configuration tasks, wait until you have received confirmation that the changes are implemented before executing any subsequent tasks. For a large fabric, this can be up to a few minutes. • Some data collection and processing operations in the iSCSI Gateway module might take a long time to complete, especially in large fabrics or fabrics with large numbers of Discovery Domains and Discovery Domain Sets defined. In most cases, progress bars are provided. Do not assume the application is hanging until you have allowed sufficient time (30-40 seconds) for data to be collected and displayed. • A maximum of five simultaneous HTTP sessions to any one switch is recommended. An HTTP session is considered a Fabric Manager or Web Tools connection to the switch. 2-16 Web Tools Administrator's Guide Publication Number: 53-0000194-01
