Fabric Manager and Device Manager
Fabric Manager provides a map of the discovered fabric and includes tables that display statistical
information about the switches in the fabric. You can also select troubleshooting tools from the Fabric
Manager Tools menu.
Note When you click on a zone or VSAN in Fabric Manager, the members of the zone or VSAN are
highlighted on the Fabric Manager Map pane.
Device Manager provides a graphic display of a specific switch and shows the status of each port on the
switch. From Device Manager, you can drill down to get detailed statistics about a specific switch or
port.
