Fabric Manager 5.x administrator guide 151
Defining a fabric profile
You can use the fabric profile manager to create a firmware policy that defines the firmware versions to be
applied to switches (see Figure 90). For example, you can always download the most recent firmware
versions to all switches, or you can download firmware version a.b.c for all switches in fabric XYZ. By
default, the most recent firmware versions are applied to all switches.
Figure 90 Fabric profile window
The fabric profile manager is useful when downloading firmware to switches. You can download
according to the defined policy, or you can manually select which firmware to download to the switches
(see Figure 91).

This table displays the
switches, the firmware

version to download.
