Different areas of the Switch Explorer refresh at different rates. Table 3 lists the polling rates for the various
panels in Advanced Web Tools.
Fabric Tree
The Fabric Tree is the left panel of the Switch Explorer. The Fabric Tree displays all switches in the fabric,
including switches that do not have an Advanced Web Tools license. Switches segmented before
Advanced Web Tools is launched are not displayed.
Although all switches in the fabric are displayed, only switches that have an Advanced Web Tools license
installed can be managed through Advanced Web Tools. Other switches must be managed through the
Fabric OS command line interface (CLI) or another management application. For information on adding
an Advanced Web Tools license to a switch, see ” Installing an Advanced Web Tools license ” on page 37.
