About the Switch Explorer View

The Switch Explorer View is the first web page that displays when you connect to
a switch. The Switch Explorer includes:

Fabric Tree, displaying a navigation menu of icons for all the switches in the
fabric.

Fabric Management icons, for easy access to fabric-level administration
tasks.

Switch View, displaying real time information about the selected switch.

Switch Information page, displaying a synopsis of useful information about
the selected switch.

Port Status information, displaying real time information about the port
including status lights, and in-use lights.

Every switch in the fabric, including any unlicensed switches, is represented by a
switch icon in the Fabric Tree. However, only switches with a Web Tools license
can be managed from Web Tools. To add a license for an unlicensed switch, click
the corresponding switch icon in Fabric Tree, and a license window automatically
displays.
