Criteria for Displaying a Port
The application polls each switch to determine the ports that have a device
attached to them. If a port is configured and has a GBIC installed, it will not be
displayed unless the GBIC has a cable attaching it to an external device and that
device responds to contact made with it.
Special Condition for Fabrics using the WWN Zoning Method
When the WWN zoning method is used, a condition may arise from communica-
tion failure of a switch in a fabric. As long as the failed switch can not communi-
cate with the fabric, all devices attached to that switch will be shown in the left
column of the zoning window as being attached to the switch with the lowest
chassis ID number. The device names will appear in all name server zones, but no
communication with them can be performed until they are connected to a working
switch, or their switch resumes communication.
The devices attached to the non-communicating switch may be moved to other
ports on other switches without interference in their operation until the switch
problem is corrected.
When the switch is replaced, or communication with the switch is restored, the
devices attached to it will once again appear attached to that switch in the left
column of the zoning window and be removed from the switch with the lowest
chassis ID number.
