16 Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 User Guide • September 2008
A yellow icon indicates the 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.
Note – The small lock icon next to the fabric icon in the fabric tree indicates a secure
fabric connection (SSL — Secure Socket Layer). The Security menu is available only
on a secure fabric and on the entry switch (out of band switch). Open the Switch
menu and select Services to enable the SSL option for that switch. You must then
close the fabric and re-establish a connection to secure the fabric using SSL.
