Monitoring overview
The Brocade DCX 8510-4 is engineered for reliability and requires no routine operational steps or
maintenance. This chapter provides information about determining the status of each component
using LEDs and CLI commands. Refer to the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS
Administrator’s Guide for additional information.
There are two commands that can be especially helpful in monitoring the health of the Brocade
DCX 8510-4. These commands are switchShow and chassisShow. Examples of these commands
are shown below.
Note in the switchShow command the new switchType for the Brocade DCX 8510-4 as well as the
16 Gbps speed identification for capable ports. The output has been truncated to reduce
information duplication.
