Using the Topology window | Intel SBCEFCSW, SBFCM specification

Working status indicator

The working status indicator as shown in Figure 1 on page 69 is in the lower-right corner of the Topology window and shows when the network management workstation is exchanging information with the fabric. As conditions change, the fabric forwards this information to the network management workstation where it is reflected in the various displays.

Using the Topology window

The Topology window shown in Figure 5 polls the selected fabric and displays its topology. switch modules and interswitch links (ISL) are displayed in the graphic window and use color to indicate status. The following functional elements are displayed in the Topology window when you click on the Data window tabs:

•Switch module and link status

•Working with switch modules and links

•Topology data windows

Fibre Channel switch module and link status

The Fibre Channel switch module icon shape and color provide information about the switch and its operational state. In the Topology window, lines represent links between switch modules. See Table 16 for Fibre Channel switch module and link status and “Fabric status” on page 80 for more information about other Topology window icons.

Green	Normal Fibre Channel switch operation

Amber	Operational with errors

Red	Inactive or Fibre Channel switch failure

Blue	Unknown Fibre Channel device
