Session management A Web Tools session is defined as the connection between the Advanced Web Tools client and its managed switch. A session is established when you log in to a switch through Advanced Web Tools. The scope of the session depends on whether upfront login is enabled: • If upfront login is enabled, a single session is shared by the Switch Explorer and all child windows launched from it. Closing or navigating away from the Switch Explorer ends the session and invalidates all related child windows.

You can open multiple sessions from the same Switch Explorer window. Closing or navigating away from the Switch Explorer does not close the session or affect the child windows. 22 Introducing Advanced Web Tools

launched from it. Closing or navigating away from the Switch Explorer ends the session and
invalidates all related child windows. Closing the child windows, however, does not end the session.
•
If upfront login is not enabled, a session encompasses only the child window to which you are logged
in (such as the Switch Admin, Zone Admin, and other protected modules). You can open multiple
sessions from the same Switch Explorer window. Closing or navigating away from the Switch Explorer
does not close the session or affect the child windows.
