Enterprise Fabric Management Suite user interface
The Enterprise Fabric Management Suite application uses faceplate and backplate displays to manage the
switches in a fabric. The interface ( Figure 7 ) consists of a menu bar, fabric tree, graphic window, data
windows (some with buttons), and data window tabs. The topology display ( Figure 7 ) appears in the
graphic window and shows all of the switches and connections in the fabric. The fabric names and switch
names appear in the fabric tree. Click a switch name or icon to display a different switch faceplate in the
graphic window. Information displayed in the data windows corresponds to the selected data window tab.
Figure 7 Topology display elements
The faceplate and backplate displays are used to manage individual switches. The faceplate displays of
the 8/20q and SN6000 Fibre Channel Switches are similar, showing the front of a switch and its ports.
The backplate display shows the power supplies for single and dual power supply switches. Figure 8
shows an SN6000 Fibre Channel Switch faceplate display.
