McDATA 4Gb SAN Switch for HP p-Class BladeSystem User Guide (AA-RW20B-TE, December 2005)

18 Using McDATA Web Server/McDATA Element Manager

User interface

The McDATA Web Server and McDATA Element Manager applications share a common interface. The

McDATA Web Server uses two basic displays to manage the fabric and individual switches: the topology

display and the faceplate display as shown in Figure 5. The topology display shows all switches that are

able to communicate and all connections between switches. The faceplate display shows the front of a

single switch and its ports.

The McDATA Element Manager application uses a modified faceplate display with fewer menus, no fabric

tree, no tool bar, and fewer data window tabs.
