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 3-15 and “Switch Data Window” on page 4-8 for
information about the Devices and Switch data windows.
