Checking the Physical Health of a Switch
The background color of the switch in the View panel and Scope panel indicates the real-time status of
the switch. For the meaning of the colors, see the Status Legend available from the Help menu (Help >
Status Legend).
For example, in Figure 11-24, the View panel shows two switches with a yellow background, indicating
Marginal status. The table in the Scope panel also shows a yellow background for those switches.
In the Switches tab of the Information panel, the Status column displays the status of the switch and the
Contributors column indicates the reason for an unhealthy status.
