Fabric Tree

An entry handle located to the left of an entry in the tree indicates that the entry can be expanded or collapsed. Click this handle or double-click the entry to expand or collapse a fabric tree entry. A fabric entry expands to show its member switches.

Figure 2-9. Fabric Tree

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 (if 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.

The fabric tree provides access to the topology and faceplate displays for any fabric or switch.

„To open the topology display from the fabric tree, click a fabric entry.

„To open the faceplate display from the fabric tree, click a switch entry.
