Managing the System and Components
The Fabric Manager allows you to configure and monitor modules on multiple Cisco 9000 switches. The Device Manager allows you to configure and monitor modules on a single Cisco 9000 switch.
Note For information about configuring the chassis and its components using the command-line interface (CLI), refer to the Cisco 9000 Family Configuration Guide.
This chapter describes how to configure the chassis and its components using the Fabric Manager and Device Manager.
This chapter includes the following sections:
•Managing the Switch System
•Managing Inventory Information
•Viewing Redundancy Information
•Managing Card Attributes
•Managing Temperature Sensor Information
•Managing Power Supplies
