Displaying the Name Server Entries
Web Tools displays Name Server entries listed in the Simple Name Server database (see Figure 3-12 on
page 3-26). This includes all Name Server entries for the fabric, not only those related to the local
domain. Each row in the table represents a different device.
Admin Domain considerations: The Name Server table is filtered based on Admin Domain
membership of the fabric devices. The Name Server table shows only devices that are part of the Admin
Domain you are currently logged in to. This includes devices that are direct members of the Admin
Domain and devices that are attached to ports that are direct members of the Admin Domain. All other
fabric devices are filtered out of the Name Server view for the current Admin Domain. See “Admin
Domain Membership” on page 8-3 for information about direct and indirect members.
