Each fabric tree entry has a small icon next to it that uses color to indicate operational status.

•A green icon indicates normal operation.

•A yellow icon indicates that a switch is operational, but may require attention to maintain maximum performance.

•A red icon indicates a potential failure or non-operational state as when the switch is offline.

•A blue icon indicates that a switch is unknown, unreachable, or unmanageable.

•If the status of the fabric is not normal, the fabric icon in the fabric tree will indicate the reason for the abnormal status. The same message is provided when you rest the mouse over the fabric icon in the fabric tree.
