Web Tools may be launched directly from a web browser. It may also be launched from the DCFM client. 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 DCFM" for more information. Web Tools, the EGM license, and DCFM Beginning with Fabric OS version 6.1.1, Web Tools functionality is tiered and integrated with DCFM. 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 Brocade DCX and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms, the Encryption Switch, and the 300, 5100, and 5300 switches. For non-8 Gbps platforms, all functionalities are available without the EGM license. Also beginning with Fabric OS version 6.1.1, some Web Tools capabilities are moved from Web Tools to DCFM. Table 2 summarizes these changes. Web Tools Administrator's Guide 1 53-1001343-01
