Displaying Fabric Information

The topology display is your primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphic window of the topology display provides status information for switches, inter-switch links, and the Ethernet connection to the management workstation.

The data window tabs show device, switch, and active zone set information. The Active Zoneset tab shows the zone definitions for the active zone set. Refer to “Devices Data Window” on page 3-15and “Switch Data Window” on page 4-8for information about the Devices and Switch data windows.

3.4.1

Fabric Status

The fabric updates the topology and faceplate displays by forwarding changes in status to the management workstation as they occur. You can allow the fabric to update the display status, or you can refresh the display at any time. To refresh the topology display, do one of the following:

Click the Refresh button.

Open the View menu and select Refresh.

Press the F5 key.

Right-click anywhere in the background of the topology display and select Refresh Fabric from the popup menu.
