Workstation requirements
The requirements for fabric management workstations running the QuickTools web applet are described in
Table 2 .
NOTE: Java must be configured to disable caching of temporary files and applets to prevent conflicts with
past or future versions of QuickTools. Also, caching may become enabled if the Java version is upgraded,
so you may need to disable caching again after a Java upgrade.
Opening QuickTools
Once the switch is operational, open the QuickTools web applet.
To open the QuickTools web applet:
1. In an Internet browser, enter the switch IP address (the default switch IP address is 10.0.0.1). (If your
workstation does not have the Java 2 Run Time Environment program, you will be prompted to
download it.)
