Bocade 4GB SAN switch

[Stijn V]

I do receive the following error when accessing a new SAN switch via a web browser:

load: class com.brocade.wtcommon.secsan.LoginApplet not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.brocade.wtcommon.secsan.LoginApplet

Someone any idea how I can solve this issue?

Thanks.

I once had similar problem. Tried using different browsers and JAVA Runtime Environment. In my case firmware update helped.

[Stijn V]

Thanks for you answer.

I'm using the following firmware version v5.0.5b

I can by pass this problmem by using the following URL http:///switchExplorer.html

I upgraded the firmware from v5.0.5b to v5.0.5c, but this didn't solved this issue ...

I'm assuming you're connecting from a Windows XP workstation. If that is the case, try updating your Java runtime (JRE) software. You can get the latest release here: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

I dowloaded the JRE version 1.6.0_01 but this doesn't solve the issue ....

Generally I would recommend to:

1.Directly connect your Laptop to SW with CrossCable / or private HuB.
Test with :
a. Just IP Address
b. SW FQDN (Edit your hosts file)
This test is to determine if the issue lies on the SW or external to the SW.
If both test are ok, I would say SW is fine.
2. Back to your network
Check:
Is your PC and SW on the Same Subnet ?
If its different subnet, Was there any Firewall/Router ACL applied ?
Any web proxy ?
Have you tried clearing java temporary internet files ? (Java Control Panel)

Test with SW FQDN using hosts file instead of DNS ?

3. Last resort
a. Enable Java logging
b. Install ethereal network trace
This would probably overkill but will force you to understand how it works. :-)

Hope this help.

I already tried multiple java versions and I tried to connect with the switch from different servers/laptops. But I always do receive the same error ...

I am using the IP address, switches are not registered in DNS.

Yes rudysw,

My problem solved with clearing java temporary internet files ? (Java Control Panel)

Thanks,
