Topology - L2:Other View

The L2:Other view displays information about an object other than computers, switches, subsystems, and tape libraries and all known and related environmental objects for that object, such as switches, FCPorts, and Zones.

Topology View

The topology view contains a graphical representation of an object other than computers, switches, subsystems, and tape libraries and related environmental objects.

You can do the following in the topology view:

• Examine the spatial rendering of objects and their relationship to each other in your environment and orient yourself for the tasks.
• If your environment contains a large number of objects, the topology view might not be able to display all the objects in the same view. You can pan to different areas of the topology by using the minimap, which contains miniature representations of the objects in your environment.
• Expand a group of objects by clicking the plus sign (+) in the group to reveal all objects in the group. Collapse a group by clicking the minus sign (-) to hide the objects in the group.
• To display a detailed view of an individual object in the topology, double-click the object.
• To perform actions on an object, right-click an object and select an item from the actions menu.

Tabular View

The tabular view below the topology view contains detailed information about an object other than computers, switches, subsystems, and tape libraries and information about related environmental objects.

Attributes of the objects in the topology view are organized into tabs in the tabular view. Click an item in the following list to display information about a tab:

• Switch
• Other/Unknown
• FCPort
• Zone
