Monitoring and Managing the Switch

This chapter describes how to use the features available in the Product Manager view
panel to monitor and manage switch operation. These features include status
indicators, menu options, and dialog boxes available through the Hardware View,
Port List View, Node List View, Performance View, and FRU List View.

Hardware View

The Hardware View is the default view when you open the Product Manager. If
another view displays, display the Hardware View by selecting Hardware from view
tabs on the Product Manager window. Using this graphical view of the switch, you can
view status symbols and simulated light emitting diode (LED) indicators, display data,
and use mouse functions to monitor status and obtain vital product information for the
switch and its hardware components.

Identifying FRUs

Move the cursor over parts of the switch graphic in the Hardware View to display
labels identifying each hardware component and its slot position in the chassis relative
to identical components installed in the switch. Components include:
• Power supply module. Note that each AC connector on the rear of the unit is the
location of an internal power supply (two total).
• Ports (small form factor LC transceivers).

Monitoring Switch Operation

Monitor the operating status of the switch using the switch Status table on the
Hardware View and the status indicator on the status bar at the bottom of the Product
Manager window.
