Fabric Tree
Fabric Tree under Switch View displays all switches in the fabric, even those that do not have a Web
Tools license and that are not owned by your selected Admin Domain. Switches that are not owned
by the Admin Domain are shown in the Fabric Tree with switch status. Fabric Tree does not display
switches segmented before you opened Web Tools.
Only two types of switch icons display in Fabric Tree; one for a pizza box and one for a chassis. No
platform-based icons are supported.
Use the drop-down menu at the top of the Fabric Tree area to view switches in the Fabric Tree by
switch name, IP address, or WWN. You can rest on the pointer over a switch to display the IP
address, current status, and other details of the switch. To manually refresh the status of a switch
within the fabric, right-click the switch in the Fabric Tree and select Refresh.
