1. Fabric View Displays a control panel that provides access to fabric-wide options, a panel
for each switch in the fabric, plus a legend that explains the meaning of the
background colors on the Switch icons. Each panel contains an icon that
represents the switch itself, in addition to icons for Switch Events and the
Administrative and Telnet interfaces. The background color of the switch
icon represents the status of that particular switch or Integrated Fabric (as
defined by the legend provided in the window).
Note: Switch status is calculated approximately once per second;
however the initial calculation does not occur until 30-60 seconds
after the switch is booted. It is calculated from the state of data
structures in the switch, and stored as the variable “switchStatus”.
Note: For all statuses that are based on errors per time interval, any errors
will cause the status to show faulty until the entire sample interval
has passed.
For information about the functions that are accessible through Fabric
View, see Fabric View on page 3-1.
