Displaying Fabric Information
The topology display is your primary tool for monitoring a fabric. The graphic
window of the topology display provides status information for switches,
inter-switch links, and the Ethernet connection to the management workstation.

Active Zoneset tab shows the zone definitions for the active zone set. Refer to
”Devices Data Window” on page 3-15 and ”Switch Data Window” on page 4-8 for
information about the Devices and Switch data windows.
