a Verify Certificate dialog box that you must accept before gaining access to the fabric.

Select a fabric in the fabric tree.

Opening a fabric view file
A fabric view file is one or more fabrics saved to a file. To open an existing view file:
1.
Select File > Open View File, or click Open to open the Open View dialog box. If the fabric you are
currently viewing has changed, you are prompted to save the changes to the fabric view file with the
Save View dialog box before opening a different view file.
2.
Enter the name of the file to open, and enter a file password if a password was entered when this fabric
view file was saved.
3.
Click OK.
NOTE:
To maximize system performance and reduce the fabric event logs, limit the number of large
fabrics open at one time.
Saving a fabric view file
To save a fabric view file:
1.
Select File > Save View As to open the Save View dialog box.
2.
Enter a new file name and a file password, if necessary.

Rediscovering a fabric
After making changes to or deleting switches from a fabric view, it may be helpful to view the actual fabric
configuration again. The Rediscover Fabric option clears the current fabric information being displayed,
and rediscovers all switch information.
To rediscover a fabric, open the topology display and select Fabric > Rediscover Fabric. The Rediscover
function is more comprehensive than the Refresh function.
