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.
To use the Fabric Configuration option in Fabric Manager to analyze the configuration of a switch, follow these steps:
- Choose Tools > Fabric Configuration.
- Decide whether you want to compare the selected switch to another switch, or to a policy file.
- If you are making a switch comparison, select Policy Switch and then click the drop-down arrow to see a list of switches.
- If you are making a policy comparison, select Policy File. Then click the ... button to the right of this option to browse your file system and select a policy file (*.XML).
- Click Rules to set the rules to apply when running the Fabric Configuration Analysis tool.
- Change the rules as needed and click OK.
- Click Compare.
- Click the check boxes in the Resolve column for the issues you want to resolve.
- Resolve them by clicking Resolve Issues.
- Click Clear to remove the contents of the window.
- Click Close to close the window.
