About Cisco Switches and VSANs in System Manager

The management server does not display individual VSANs in its topology or fabric tree. The switches in a VSAN are displayed under the fabric to which their VSAN belongs. For example, assume switch_A belongs to VSAN1 and switch_B belongs to VSAN_2. VSAN_1 and VSAN_2 belong to the same fabric. The management server displays switch_A and switch_B under the same fabric without their VSAN listed in the tree.

To determine the VSAN to which a port on a Cisco switch belongs, access the Properties page for the port. The Properties page can be accessed by double-clicking the switch in System Manager and then clicking the Properties tab. Then, click the hyperlink for the port in the Properties page for the switch. You can also view information about Cisco port types, such as TE ports by accessing the Properties page for a port.
