6.2Issues Affecting the Web Graphical User Interface to the Switch
A graphical user interface (GUI) is available for configuring the switch. To access it, point a web browser at the host name or IP address you have used for the switch.
The following problems have been observed during testing of the web GUI. Sun bug numbers are included where these are available.

When the Software Download and Upload window refreshes itself, the transfer operation is not fully complete.
