Working status Indicator
The working status indicator, located in the lower right corner of the McDATA Web Server window, shows
when the management workstation is exchanging information with the fabric. As conditions change, the
fabric forwards this information to the management workstation where it is reflected in the various displays.
Using the McDATA Web Server topology display
The McDATA Web Server topology display shown in Figure 10 receives information from the selected
fabric and displays its topology. Switches and inter-switch links (ISLs) appear in the graphic window and
use color to indicate status. Consider the following topology display features:
• Switch and link status, page 23
• Working with switches and links, page 24
• Topology data windows, page 24

Switch and link status
Switch icon shape and color provide information about the switch and its operational state. Lines represent
links between switches. The topology display uses green to indicate normal operation, yellow to indicate
operational with errors, red to indicate a potential failure or non-operational state, and blue to indicate
unknown, unreachable, or unmanageable. See ”Fabric status” on page 44 for more information about
topology display icons.
