•
Performs basic user actions (for example, enabling or disabling a port or switch) in a physical
fabric context.
•
Supports fault and event management. Note that since AD’s are not visualized in the Topology
Map and Product List, the Master Log provides an unfiltered view of events for the entire
AD-enabled fabric.
•
Web Tools launch (with Single sign on support where applicable) defaults to Default AD (AD0).
For AD life cycle management, you must switch the context to physical fabric (AD 255) using
Web Tools.
•
Does not support features dependent on the AD context and membership (for example,
Troubleshooting and Diagnostics) for AD-enabled fabrics.
•
If you try to enable Virtual Fabrics on an AD-enabled switch, that operation fails with the
following message: “Failed to enable Virtual Fabric feature for Chassis (Remove All ADs before
attempting to enable VF).”
•
Performs performance management (including Advance Performance Monitoring and Top
Talkers) data collection and reports in a physical fabric context.
•
If AD is enabled any switch in a fabric, you cannot clear counters (performance management)
on any switch in that fabric.
