About the Properties Tab
The Properties tab provides detailed information about an element. Since the information obtained
from each type of element varies, the Properties tab displays only information relevant to that type of
element. For example, the Properties tab for fabrics lists the zones, zone sets, switches, and zone
aliases, as compared to the Properties tab for a host, which lists the processors, cards, applications,
and storage volumes the host uses. For supported Brocade switches, trunking ISL ports have
Trunking State set to 2, and non-trunking ISL ports have Trunking State set to 1.
See ”Viewing Fabric Properties” on page 308 for more information about the Properties tab for
fabrics.
The Properties tab usually provides the following, although this list does vary from element to
element:
• Assign a Custom Name - To make it easier to identify the element, assign the element a custom
name. See the topic, ”Assigning a Custom Name” on page 309. This option is not available to
all elements.
• IP Address (Generic Hosts Only) - Enter an IP address for a generic host.
• DNS Name (Generic Hosts Only) - Enter a DNS name for a generic host.
