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 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 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.
Although Fabric Tree displays all the switches in the fabric, you can manage switches that support
Fabric OS v6.1 and later versions because it does not require a Web Tools license. If a switch is
launched from Fabric Tree, preference will be given to IPv4, even though both IPv4 and IPv6 are
configured for that particular switch.
The versions earlier than Fabric OS v6.1 require a Web Tools license and, if applicable, an EGM
license installed. Other switches must be managed through the Fabric OS command line interface
(CLI), another management application, or by using Brocade Network Advisor.
