Fabric tracking
When you discover a new fabric and initial discovery is complete, fabric tracking is automatically
enabled. Subsequently, if a switch or end-device is added to or removed from the fabric, a plus (+)
or minus (-) icon displays (see table below) next to the product icon. Connections are also tracked.
A new connection displays a solid gray line with an added icon and missing connections display a
yellow dashed line with a removed icon.
