Workaround: Restart the browser. Advanced Web Tools must be restarted when the Ethernet IP address is changed using the NetworkConfig View command. Advanced Web Tools appears to hang if it is not restarted after this operation is executed. Workaround: Restart the browser. If you change the switch name or domain ID using the CLI after the Advanced Web Tools Switch Admin module has started, the new switch name or domain ID is not updated on the header of the Switch Admin page. Clicking the Refresh button does not fix the problem. Workaround: Click the Switch tab and the Switch Admin header is updated. If you change the switch name using the Advanced 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: To display the correct switch name in the CLI prompt after a switch name update using Advanced Web Tools or SNMP, fastboot the switch. 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 is not shown. Workaround: Following a switch enable or disable, wait at least 25-30 seconds before further action. The Advanced 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 lists the switch as unavailable. 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, restart the browser. If upfront login is enabled, and the 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. You must manually close these windows. 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. 144 Limitations
