Fabric Tree
The QuickTools web applet allows you to manage the switches in one fabric. The
fabric tree (
) provides access to each switch faceplate display in the
fabric. Click a switch name or icon to display that switch faceplate in the graphic
window. The window width of the fabric tree can be adjusted by clicking and
dragging the moveable window border.
The fabric tree entry has a small icon next to it that uses color to indicate
operational status.
A green icon indicates normal operation.
A yellow icon indicates that a switch is operational, but may require attention
to maintain maximum performance.
A red icon indicates a potential failure or non operational state as when the
switch is offline.
A blue icon indicates that a switch is unknown, unreachable, or
unmanageable.
If the status of the fabric is not normal, the fabric icon on the fabric tree will
indicate the reason for the abnormal status. The same message is provided when
you rest the mouse on the fabric icon on the fabric tree.
