About System Manager
System Manager is the gateway to many features that let you view details about the discovered
elements. System Manager provides a topology that lets you view how the devices in your network
are connected. For example, direct-attached storage connections are displayed by a dotted line.
Another example is the display of Inter-Switch Link (ISL) trunking for supported Brocade switches. The
topology screens, as well as other related displays, show the ISLs between switches and indicate the
total number of ISLs and how many of them are trunked (for supported switches). For example, 6(3
trunked) means 6 is the total number and 3 is how many of them are trunked. ISL trunking
information for supported switches is also provided by switch port Properties, switch port Detail
table on the Navigation page, and by Reporter in various predefined reports, .
