Ve r s i o n s
The Fabric Tracker option allows you to generate a snapshot or baseline of current
system version information, which can be viewed, analyzed and compared to other
snapshot files, and exported to a file. Information includes date and time, switch
active firmware version, device hardware, drivers, and firmware version from FDMI.
The Snapshot Analyzer option allows you to:

■ Detect mismatches of firmware and driver versions
■ Detect devices that have been moved, added to or removed from the fabric.
