SAN Topology provides different types of views:
  • Overview: high level view of parent components
  • All connections: detailed view of all ports with their WWNs
  • Custom: limited veiw for selected devices
  • Fabric: ISL connections between SAN switches within a Fabric
Interactive map:
  • Drag to move the topology map
  • Scroll to zoom in/out
  • Click on a parent component to highlight all connections originating from that component
  • Click on a specific port to highlight the path to the destination port
