The topology display is your primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphic 
window of the topology display provides status information for switches, 
inter-switch links, and the Ethernet connection to the management workstation.

The data window tabs show device, switch, and active zone set information. The 
Active Zoneset tab shows the zone definitions for the active zone set. Refer to 

 and 

 for 

information about the Devices and Switch data windows.

The fabric updates the topology and faceplate displays by forwarding changes in 
status to the management workstation as they occur. You can allow the fabric to 
update the display status, or you can refresh the display at any time. To refresh 
the topology display, do one of the following:

„

Click the Refresh button.

„

Open the View menu and select Refresh.

„

Press the F5 key.

„

Right-click anywhere in the background of the topology display and select 
Refresh Fabric from the popup menu.

The topology display uses switch and status icons to provide status information 
about switches, inter-switch links, and the Ethernet connection. The switch status 
icons, displayed on the left side of a switch, vary in shape and color. Switches 
controlled by an Ethernet Internet Protocol have a colored Ethernet icon displayed 
on the right side of the switch. A green Ethernet icon indicates normal operation, 
yellow indicates a condition that may require attention to maintain maximum 
performance, and red indicates a potential failure.

switch icons and their meanings.
