Switch View
The Switch View displays a graphical representation of the selected switch, including a real-time
view of switch and port status. Select a switch in the Fabric Tree to access the Switch View for that
switch. Figure 13 shows an example of a Switch View.

Port representations
The ports in the Switch View show the port type. Borders around the accessible ports indicate that
SFP modules are present. A colored border indicates the status of the port; for example, a green
border indicates that the port is connected and traffic is flowing. For example, in Figure 13, port 20
has a border, 21 does not have a border, and 22 has a colored border. Ports that are not accessible
do not display the port type and do not have borders.
The port LEDs in the Switch View match the LEDs on the physical switch; however, the blink rate of
the LEDs in the Switch View does not necessarily match the blink rate of the LEDs on the physical
switch. See “Interpreting port LEDs” on page 150 for more information. Ethernet ports have 2
LEDs.
Right-click a port in Switch View to get a menu from which you can open the Port Administration
window and view detailed information about the port. From Port Administration, you can access
information on all other ports. See Chapter 5, “Managing Your Ports” for more information.
