Web Tools is launched directly from a web browser, or from the Brocade Network Advisor. A limited set of features is accessible using Web Tools without a license, and is available free of charge. Additional switch management features are accessible using Web Tools with the Enhanced Group Management (EGM) license. Refer to "Web Tools, the EGM license, and Brocade Network Advisor" for more information. Web Tools, the EGM license, and Brocade Network Advisor Beginning with Fabric OS version 6.1.1, Web Tools functionality is tiered and integrated with Brocade Network Advisor. If you are migrating from a Web Tools release prior to Fabric OS version 6.1.1, this may impact how you use Web Tools. A Web Tools license is not required, and a basic version of Web Tools is available for free. Additional functionality may be added by obtaining the Enhanced Group Management (EGM) license. Table 1 compares Basic Web Tools features to Web Tools with the EGM license. The EGM license is only for 8 Gbps platforms, such as the Encryption Switch, and the 300, 5100, and 5300 switches. For non-8 Gbps platforms, all functionalities are available without the EGM license. Beginning with Fabric OS version 6.1.1, some Web Tools capabilities are moved from Web Tools to Brocade Network Advisor. Table 2 summarizes these changes.
