Switch View
This chapter describes the views and interfaces available through the Switch View of Web Tools,
which consist of the following:
•
Switch Events View
•
Fabric Watch View (Optional Software)
• Performance Monitor
• Administrative Interface
• Telnet Interface
The Switch View represents the front panel of the switch, and displays when you click a Switch
icon in Fabric View. This view provides information about the overall status of the switch and the
status of the individual elements in the switch. The information displayed is as close as possible to
a real-time view of switch status. If the switch is not functioning properly, a message explains the
problem detected.
Note: Switch status is stored as the variable “switchStatus”, and is calculated approximately once
per second; however, the initial calculation does not occur until 30-60 seconds after the
switch is booted.
To access Switch View:
1. Launch the Web browser.
2. Enter the switch name or IP address in the Location/Address field and press Enter.
(Example: http://switch name/)
Web Tools launches, displaying Fabric View.
3. Click the Switch icon.
The Switch View displays as shown in Figure 4-1.
