Switch Faceplate Display

Refer to Figure 2-14. The Switch Faceplate display is composed of three main

parts which represent the selected chassis: Faceplate, Chassis Parameters/Switch

Statistics, and Chassis Management area.

This window is the central point for managing the selected chassis. For example,

Faceplate selections under the View menu allow you to view and control Port

States and Modes and if the chassis is a SANbox, it also allows you to configure

the chassis for Multi-Frame-Sequences (MFS). In the Chassis Parameters area, you

can view and configure chassis parameters such as various Fibre Channel

timeouts, its Stage Type, and the chassis’ Administrative Mode. Using selections in

the View menu allow you to use the Chassis Parameters area to view chassis

performance and Name Server information, set-up and run Traces, and view and

change Switch chassis memory. The Chassis Management area displays activity

graphs for active ports. While the display is visible, the graphs are updated. If the

display is closed, and the updating stops.

Selections in the Special menu allow you to specify zoning, toggle the heartbeat

LED to aid in locating the switch, control configuration, archive or restore the

fabric, zero port counters, start/stop continuous test, and reset the switch.
