Refresh Connection View
Use Refresh Connection View to get the latest information of Switch Connection ID and Switch Port Connection ID.
NOTE: If iDRAC has switch connection and switch port connection information for server network port or iDRAC network
port and due to some reason, the switch connection and switch port connection information is not refreshed for 5min, then
the switch connection and switch port connection information is shown as stale (last known good data) data for all user
interfaces. In the UI, you see yellow bang which is a natural representation and it does not indicate any warning.
