Configuring FRUs

The configuration of field-replaceable units (FRUs) is an exception to the procedures described
thus far in this chapter. FRUs are monitored using state values, as opposed to the quantitative
values used to monitor the rest of the fabric. As a result of the qualitative nature of this monitoring,
the concept of thresholds does not apply.
1. Establish a Telnet connection with a switch.
2. Log in using administrative privileges.
3. Enter the fwFruCfg command at the command prompt.
