Fabric Tree
The QuickTools web applet allows you to manage the switches in one fabric. The
fabric tree, shown in Figure 2-3, provides access to each switch faceplate display
in the fabric. Click a switch name or icon to display that switch faceplate in the
graphic window. The window width of the fabric tree can be adjusted by clicking
and dragging the moveable window border.
The 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 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 on the fabric icon in the fabric tree.

display. The window height can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the window
border that it shares with the data window.

10-Gbps blades, and a maintenance panel. To view the faceplate display, open

The backplate display, shown in Figure 5-1, shows the rear panels of the switch,
consisting two power supplies, two fans, and two CPUs. Click each panel to
display its information in the data window. The data window headings and entries
re-populate according to the panel selected. To view the backplate display, open
the View menu, and select View Backplate. Refer to ”Blade Information Data
