General InformationI

•Observe the operational status and state, name, description, and location for the selected switch at the status table at the top of the Hardware View.

•Observe green and amber LEDs that illuminate on graphical FRUs. These LEDs emulate LED operation on corresponding switch FRUs.

•Observe graphical FRUs that emulate the hardware configuration and operational status of the corresponding switch. Colored symbols appear on graphical FRUs to represent failed or degraded status. The colors and shapes are consistent with other status displays.

•Select a view tab to perform maintenance functions or display logs that provide service and diagnostic-related information.

•Select graphical FRUs with the mouse to display maintenance-related dialog boxes or perform maintenance functions.

Status Table

The switch status table displays the selected switch operational status, operational state, port state, name, description, and location. The Status field shows one of the following:

•Fully Operational - all switch FRUs and ports are fully operational, and no failures are indicated.

•Redundant Failure - a redundant FRU failed (power supply or fan FRU) and the switch is operational. In addition to the text message, the Status and State fields change to a yellow background (refer to Figure 1–12, Hardware View).

•Minor Failure - a failure occurred that decreased the operational capability of the switch (port SFP failure), but has not affected normal switching operations. In addition to the text message, the Status and State fields change to a yellow background (refer to Figure 1–12).

•Not Operational - the switch failed, is not operational, and requires immediate service. In addition to the text message, the Status and State fields change to a yellow background (refer to Figure 1–12).

•No Link - if the switch-to-HAFM server link is down, No Link appears in the Status field, the Status and State fields change to a yellow background, the Name, Description, and Location fields do not display, and the State field changes to a Reason field with a brief description of the link loss condition. For a description of link loss conditions, refer to MAP 0400: Loss of Console Communication on page 2–39.

The State field shows one of the following:
