v
Intelligent management and monitoring with Web Tools, Fabric Watch, and
Performance Monitor.
v Adaptive Networking Services uses network intelligence to anticipate congestion
and to dynamically make adjustments in the fabric so that application traffic
continues to flow
v
Dynamic Path Selection (DPS) optimizes fabric-wide performance and load
balancing by automatically routing data to the most efficient available path in
the fabric.
v Light emitting diodes (LEDs) to indicate system power, system status, Ethernet
speed and link status, and port status.

Port side of the switch
Figure 1 shows the port side of the switch. All LEDs are on the port side of the
switch: the nonport side is used to allow the free flow of air. The switch enclosure
has forced-air cooling, with the fans pushing the air from the nonport side of the
chassis through the enclosure, exhausting to the port side. For a complete
description of the locations and interpretations of these LEDs, see “Interpreting
LED activity” on page 21.
