Beginning with Fabric OS v7.1.0, you can view the message documentation such as the message

console by using the rasMan message_ID command.

To display the message documentation on switch, perform the following steps.

1. Log in to the switch as admin.

2. Use the rasMan message_ID command to display the documentation of a message. The

message_ID values are case-sensitive.
