FIGURE 7 Switch Administration window, Switch tab, Basic mode

With the exception of switch time, information displayed in the Switch Administration window is not
updated automatically by Web Tools. To update the information displayed in the Switch
Administration
window, click the Refresh button.

ATTENTION

Most changes you make in the Switch Administration window are buffered, and are not applied to
the switch until you save the changes. If you close the Switch Administration window without saving
your changes, your changes are lost. To save the buffered changes you make in the Switch
Administration
window to the switch, click Apply before closing the module or before switching to
another tab. The License tab, Firmware Download tab, and the Security Policies tab are
exceptions. The changes you make on these tabs take effect immediately and there is no Apply
button. There is an Apply button in all the subtabs of security policies except ACL.

You can also use Telnet commands to perform management tasks. Refer to

"Opening a Telnet or SSH

client window" on page 28

for information on how to launch a Telnet window using Web Tools.
