Information About Device Manager
Device Manager provides a graphic representation of a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch chassis,
including the installed expansions modules, the status of each port, the power supplies, and the fan
assemblies.
The tables in the Fabric Manager Information pane basically correspond to the dialog boxes that appear
in Device Manager. However, while Fabric Manager tables show values for one or more switches, a
Device Manager dialog box shows values for a single switch. Device Manager also provides more
detailed information for verifying or troubleshooting device-specific configuration than Fabric Manager.
Device Manager provides two views: Device View and Summary View. Use Summary View to monitor
interfaces on the switch. Use Device View to perform switch-level configurations including the
following:
• Configure zones for multiple VSANs.
• Manage ports, SAN port channels, and trunking.
• Manage SNMPv3 security access to switches.
• Manage CLI security access to the switch.
• Manage alarms, events, and notifications.
• Save and copy configuration files and software image.
• View hardware configuration.
• View chassis, module, port status, and statistics.
