General Switch View Page
The General Switch View Page displays when you query the switch from the Fabric View Page (see Table
6-2 for field descriptions). A photographic quality switch is displayed on the browser. The switch picture
displays the ports, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), general switch information, temperature, fans and buttons
for administration functions, Telnet session, and performance view.
The admin button links to the system administration pages where you can disable/enable a port depending
on the appropriate authentication (see Table 6-5 and "Administrative Interface Page" in this chapter for more
information). The performance button links to the Performance View Page (see "
Performance View Page "
for more information). The Telnet button launches a Telnet session (see " Telnet Interface Page ").
Under normal conditions, the browser's lower-right corner holds animated thermometers and spinning fans.
The color and blinking speed of the port LEDs are updated every 1 to 2.5 seconds depending on the
operating system and browser used. Warning messages show up in a pop-up window automatically if
problems occur (for example, temperature exceeding maximum value, a fan stops rotating, or a port state
becomes problematic). Pushbuttons are placed in the bottom of the warning message pop-up window. Those
buttons are connected to a separate browser providing basic troubleshooting guides.
The thermometer indicates the highest temperature from the last data sample. Click on the thermometer to
display the temperature readings from all five switch sensors.
