Subscription factor to set the threshold.

If you move the cursor over the information bubbles, details about the network hardware and
status are displayed.

If you move the cursor over a Virtual Connect uplink port, details about the port and connection
status appear. For Ethernet uplink ports, a network traffic graph is included.

A solid line indicates a primary network connection, proportioned according to bandwidth;
the thicker the line, the greater the bandwidth.

A dashed line indicates standby connections.

The switches in the network diagram are color-coded according to the colors of the switch
bays at the back of the enclosure.

The switch ports in the network diagram are displayed with icons that show the shape of the
port on the physical Virtual Connect switch.
