Viewing Port Information
The Fabric Manager client provides several ways for you to view information about ports.
The FC Ports and GigE Ports tabs in the Information panel display detailed information about the
ports. You can scroll across the columns in the table or you can mouse over an entry in the table to
display all of the information for the port in a single pop-up box (see Figure 11-3).
The GigE Ports tab displays GigE ports only on Fabric OS switches. GigE ports on XPath OS switches
are displayed in the FC Ports tab as VE_Ports.

area ID and port index are the same.
