About This Document
This document is an administrator’s guide written to help fabric administrators monitor and modify
switches and fabrics from a Web-based user interface.
“About This Document” contains the following sections:
•“How This Document Is Organized” on page xv
•“Supported Hardware and Software” on page xvi
•“What’s New in This Document” on page xvii
•“Document Conventions” on page xviii
•“Additional Information” on page xix
•“Getting Technical Help” on page xxii
•“Document Feedback” on page xxiii
How This Document Is Organized
This document is organized to help you find the information that you want as quickly and easily as
possible. It provides both concepts and procedures. Because this document primarily guides you
through administrative tasks in Web Tools, it is arranged in a loosely chronological order, beginning
with prerequisites to getting started and ending with troubleshooting information.
Throughout the document the terms GbE and GigE are used interchangeably to refer to 1 Gigabit
Ethernet.
The document contains the following topics:
•Chapter 1, “Introducing Web Tools”, provides some basic information about the Web Tools
interface, including system requirements and installation instructions.
•Chapter 2, “Using the Web Tools Interface”, describes the components of the Web Tools interface.
•Chapter 3, “Managing Fabrics and Switches”, provides information on how to manage your fabric
and switches using the Web Tools interface.
•Chapter 4, “Maintaining Configurations and Firmware”, provides information about uploading and
downloading configuration files and downloading firmware.
•Chapter 5, “Managing Your Ports”, provides information about managing FC and GbE ports.

Even if you are already familiar with earlier versions of Web Tools, read through Chapter 1,
“Introducing Web Tools”, which provides a brief overview of several new features in v5.2.0 (in
particular, Admin Domains and RBAC) that affect user experience in fundamental ways.

In those instances in which procedures or parts of procedures documented here apply to some switches
but not to others, this guide identifies exactly which switches are supported and which are not.
Although many different software and hardware configurations are tested and supported by Brocade
Communications Systems, Inc. for Fabric OS 5.2.0, documenting all possible configurations and
scenarios is beyond the scope of this document; however, this document does specify when procedures
or parts of procedures apply only to specific switches.
This document does not support all Fabric OS versions. This document is specific to Fabric OS 5.2.0.
To obtain information about an OS version other than 5.2.0, refer to the documentation specific to that
OS version.
