Displaying port performance graphs
Complete the following steps to display port performance graphs:
1.
Click Fabric and select Add Fabric or click the Add button. Type a fabric name and an IP
address in the Add a New Fabric window. Include a login name and a password if required.
2.
Set the graphing options and polling frequency. By default, the Fabric View application plots

port performance graphs” on page 126 for information about changing what is plotted and how it
is plotted.
3.
Select a switch module icon in the Fabric Tree to display a graph for each logged-in port on that
switch module; or display a graph for a single port by clicking on the switch module entry
handle and selecting one or more ports.
4.
You can move graphs around individually by clicking and dragging, or you can arrange them as
a group. See “Arranging and sizing port performance graphs” for more information.
5.
To remove a graph, click Close. To remove all graphs, click View and click Close All Graphs.
Fabric View can access only one fabric at a time. To access another fabric, you must first remove the
current fabric. To remove a fabric, click Fabric and select Remove Fabric or click the Remove
button.
Arranging and sizing port performance graphs
