Analyzing Switch Fabric Configuration

The Fabric Configuration option lets you analyze the configuration of a switch by comparing the current configuration to a specific switch or to a policy file. You can save a switch configuration to a file and then compare all switches against the configuration in the file.

  2. Choose if you want to compare the selected switch to another switch or to a Policy File.
  3. Click Rules to set the rules to apply when running the Fabric Configuration Analysis tool.

    The Rules window is displayed.

  4. Change the default rules as required and click OK.
  5. Click Compare.

    The system analyzes the configuration and displays issues that arise as a result of the comparison.

  6. Click to place a checkmark in the Resolve column for the issues you want to resolve.
  7. Resolve them by selecting the Resolve Issues option.
  8. Click Clear to remove the contents of the window.
  9. Click Close to close the window.
