Managing the Fabric Database
A fabric database contains the set of fabrics that you add during a Enterprise
Fabric Suite session. Initially, if you do not open an existing fabric or fabric view
file, the Enterprise Fabric Suite application opens with an empty fabric database.
Adding a Fabric
To add a fabric to the database:
1. On the Open menu, click Add Fabric to view the Add a New Fabric dialog
box (Figure 2-2).

3. In the Entry Switch box, enter the IP address or Domain Name Server (DNS)
name of the switch through which to manage the fabric. For more
information, see “Network IP Configuration” on page 5-30.

stored in the switch firmware. For information on user accounts, see
