Fabric Watch reports
You can run reporting commands in Fabric Watch to get instant access to switch information. Although
the switchShow command provides basic switch information, the Fabric Watch reports provide detailed
information, which enables you to track marginal or faulty ports that can affect throughput or switch
performance.
You can generate reports from the command line using a Telnet session or by using Web Tools. The
examples given here use the command line interface.
