Network Fabric Discovery

Cisco Fabric Manager collects information about the fabric topology through SNMP queries to the
switches that are connected to Fabric Manager. The switch replies after having discovered all devices
connected to the fabric by using the information from its FSPF technology database and the Name Server
OL-8007-10, Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 3.x
Retry request 1 time(s) after 5 sec timeout—You can set the retry value to 0-5, and the timeout value
to 3-30.
Trace SNMP packets in Log—The default setting for this value is OFF.
Enable Audible Alert when Event Received—The default setting for this value is OFF.
Display Unselected VSAN Members—Displays the unselected VSAN members in the Fabric pane.
The default setting for this value is ON.
Display End Devices—Displays the fabric's end devices in the Fabric pane. The default setting for
this value is ON.
Display End Device Labels—Displays the fabric's end device labels in the Fabric pane. The default
setting for this value is ON.
Expand Loops—Displays the loops in the fabric as individual connections in the Fabric pane. The
default setting for this value is OFF.
Expand Multiple Links—Displays multiple links in the Fabric pane as separate lines instead of one
thick line. The default setting for this value is ON.
Open New Device Manager Each Time—Opens a new instance of Device Manager each time that
you invoke it from a switch in your fabric. The default value is OFF, which means that only one
instance of Device Manager is open at a time.
Select Switch or Link from Table—Allows you to select a switch or link in the Fabric pane by
clicking the switch or link in a table in the Information pane. The default setting for this value is
disabled (unchecked), which means clicking a switch or link in the table does not change the switch
or link selection in the Fabric pane.
Layout New Devices Automatically—Automatically places new devices in the Fabric pane in an
optimal configuration. The default setting for this value is OFF. In this mode, when you add a new
device, you must manually reposition it if the initial position does not suit your needs.
Use Quick Layout when Switch has 30 or more End Devices—Displays the default setting for this
value (30). You can enter any number in this field. Enter 0 to disable Quick Layout.
Override Preferences for Non-default Layout—Displays the default setting for this value (ON).
Automatically Save Layout—If this option is enabled, any changes in the layout are automatically
saved. The default setting for this value is ON.
Detach Overview Window—Allows you to easily center the Fabric pane on the area of the fabric
that you want to see. (This feature is useful for large fabrics that cannot be displayed entirely within
the Fabric pane.) Bring up the overview window by clicking the Show/Hide Overview Window
button. It overlays the fabric window and remains there until you click the Show/Hide Overview
Window button again. If you enable this preference, you can detach the overview window and move
it to one side while you access the Fabric pane. The default setting for this value is disabled
(unchecked).
