Fabric Tree
The QuickTools web applet allows you to manage the switches in one fabric. The
fabric tree, shown in
Figure 2-3
, provides access to each switch faceplate display
in the fabric. Click a switch name or icon to display that switch faceplate in the
graphic window. The window width of the fabric tree can be adjusted by clicking
and dragging the moveable window border.
The fabric tree entry has a small icon next to it that uses color to indicate
operational status.
A green icon indicates normal operation.
A yellow icon indicates that a switch is operational, but may require attention
to maintain maximum performance.
A red icon indicates a potential failure or non-operational state as when the
switch is offline.
A blue icon indicates that a switch is unknown, unreachable, or
unmanageable.
If the status of the fabric is not normal, the fabric icon in the fabric tree will indicate
the reason for the abnormal status. The same message is provided when you rest
the mouse on the fabric icon in the fabric tree.

Data Windows and Tabs
The data window, shown in
Figure 2-3
, presents a table of data and statistics
associated with the selected tab for the switch displayed in the graphic window.
Use the scroll bar to browse through the data. The window length can be adjusted
by clicking and dragging the border that it shares with the graphic window. Adjust
the column width by moving the pointer over the column heading border shared by
two columns until a right/left arrow graphic is displayed. Click and drag the arrow
to the desired width. The data windows and tabs are described below.
