Using Fabric Manager

The Fabric Manager displays a view of your network fabric, including Cisco MDS 9000 and third-party
switches and end devices. To launch the Fabric Manager from your desktop, double-click the Fabric
Manager icon and follow the instructions described in the
"Launching the Applications" section on
page

Changes made using Fabric Manager are applied to the running configuration of the switches you are

managing and the changes may not be saved when the switch restarts. After you make a change to the
configuration or perform an operation (such as activating zones), Fabric Manager prompts you to save
your changes before you exit.
