View switch information
The Fabric Manager client provides several ways for you to view information about a switch.
You can mouse over a switch in the Fabric View panel to display the following basic switch
information:
• switch name
• WWN
• IP address
• domain ID
• switch type
When the Fabric View is selected, the Scope panel displays the switch name and switch type in the
Switches tab. You can mouse over the fields in the table to display the full description in a tool. See
Figure 97 for tool tip examples.
