Device Manager Overview

Device Manager provides a graphic representation of a Cisco MDS 9000 Family switch chassis,
including the installed switching modules, the supervisor modules, the status of each port within each
module, the power supplies, and the fan assemblies.
The tables in the Fabric Manager Information pane basically correspond to the dialog boxes that appear
in Device Manager. However, while Fabric Manager tables show values for one or more switches, a
Device Manager dialog box shows values for a single switch. Also, Device Manager provides more
detailed information for verifying or troubleshooting device-specific configuration than Fabric Manager.

Device Manager Features

Device Manager provides two views, Device View and Summary View. Use Summary View to monitor
interfaces on the switch. Use Device View to perform switch-level configurations including the
