About Fabric Manager Client

Cisco Fabric Manager is a Java and SNMP-based network fabric and device management tool with a GUI
that displays real-time views of your network fabric, including Cisco MDS 9000 Family and third-party
switches, hosts, and storage devices.
In addition to complete configuration and status monitoring capabilities for Cisco MDS 9000 Family
switches, Fabric Manager Client provides Fibre Channel troubleshooting tools. These health and
configuration analysis tools use the MDS 9000 switch capabilities including Fibre Channel ping and
traceroute.
Note You must use the same release of Fabric Manager Client and Fabric Manager Server.
