Fabric tree

Each fabric tree entry has a small icon next to it that uses color to indicate operational status.

A green icon indicates normal operation.

A yellow icon indicates that a switch is operational, but may require attention to maintain maximum

performance.

A red icon indicates a potential failure or non-operational state as when the switch is offline.

A blue icon indicates that a switch is unknown, unreachable, or unmanageable.
• If the status of the fabric is not normal, the fabric icon in the fabric tree will indicate the reason for

the abnormal status. The same message is provided when you rest the mouse over the fabric icon in

the fabric tree.

• The fabric tree provides access to the topology and faceplate displays for any fabric or switch.

Click a fabric entry in the fabric tree to open the topology display.

Click a switch entry in the fabric tree to open the faceplate display.

Graphic window

The graphic window, shown in

Figure 4

, presents graphic information about fabrics and switches such as

the fabric topology and the switch faceplate. The window height can be adjusted by clicking and dragging
