Viewing Switch Explorer 2 To change the Admin Domain context, perform the following steps. 1. Select a domain from the Admin Domain menu. 2. Click OK in the confirmation window. Switch Explorer refreshes to display the new Admin Domain context. You can monitor the progress using the progress bar. The system displays a list of all open windows. You can choose to change the Admin Domain, which closes all the open windows, or cancel the action and return to Switch Explorer. NOTE The Telnet window and the Fabric Details are not AD-filtered and do not need to be closed. Switch View buttons The Switch View buttons let you access the following switch information: • Status-Click the button to view the status of the switch. • Temperature-Click the button to view temperature monitors. • Power-Click the button to view power supply information. • Fan-Click the button to view the status of the switch fans. • Beaconing-Click this button to enable or disable beaconing and to view the status of beaconing from the button's icon. • Legend-Click the button to view the legend for the Switch View. NOTE For all status displays based on errors per time interval, any errors cause the status to show faulty until the entire sample interval has passed. Switch View You can click the small right arrow towards the left of the Switch Event tab to display the Switch View. The Switch View displays a graphical representation of the switch, including a real-time view of switch and port status. Refer to area 8 in Figure 5 on page 19. NOTES: With the upgrade license installed: • For 7800, all FC ports and 6 GbE ports are enabled Without the upgrade license installed: • For 7800, 4 FC ports and 2 GbE ports are enabled NOTE Blades are graphically represented in the Web Tools GUI. They are vertical in the DCX, and horizontal in the DCX-4S. Web Tools Adminstrator's Guide 23 53-1002152-01
