The topology display uses switch and status icons to provide status information
about switches, inter-switch links, and the Ethernet connection. The switch status
icons, displayed on the left side of a switch, vary in shape and color. Switches
controlled by an Ethernet Internet Protocol have a colored Ethernet icon displayed
on the right side of the switch. A green Ethernet icon indicates normal operation,
yellow indicates a condition that may require attention to maintain maximum
performance, and red indicates a potential failure. Tab le 3-1 shows the different
switch icons and their meanings.
