Monitoring overview

The Brocade DCX 8510-4 is engineered for reliability and requires no routine operational steps or maintenance. This chapter provides information about determining the status of each component using LEDs and CLI commands. Refer to the Web Tools Administrator’s Guide and the Fabric OS Administrator’s Guide for additional information.

There are two commands that can be especially helpful in monitoring the health of the Brocade DCX 8510-4. These commands are switchShow and chassisShow. Examples of these commands are shown below.

Note in the switchShow command the new switchType for the Brocade DCX 8510-4 as well as the 16 Gbps speed identification for capable ports. The output has been truncated to reduce information duplication.
