Layout. To restore the saved layout, open the View menu, unselect the Toggle Auto Layout option, and

Working with ports
Ports are selectable and serve as access points for other displays and menus. You select ports to display
information about them in the data window or to modify them. Context-sensitive popup menus appear
when you right-click the faceplate image or on a port icon. See ”
” (page 127) for detailed
port information.
Selected ports in the faceplate display are outlined in white. You can select ports in the following ways:
•
To select a port, click the port.
•
To select all ports, right-click on the faceplate image, and select Select All Ports from the popup menu.
•
To select a range of consecutive ports, click a port, press and hold the Shift key, and then click the last
port in the range. The Enterprise Fabric Management Suite application selects both end ports and all
ports in between the end ports.
NOTE:
When using the Shift key to select a range of ports, the first port you click in the range is
the anchor selection. Subsequent ranges are based on this anchor selection. For example, when you
click port 4 and port 9 respectively, port 4 becomes the anchor selection. The next range includes
all ports between port 4 and the next port you select.
•
To select several non-consecutive ports, press and hold the Control key while clicking each port.
•
To deselect ports, press and hold the Control key while clicking each port.
•
To cancel a selection, press and hold the Control key, and select it again.
