## Fabric

The topology for the Fabric provides a tiered, scalable display for all the spines and leaves in the fabric. The topology feature also provides a visualization showing the health of the Central Point of Management (CPoM)(, which includes accessibility of DCNM to different services such as Power on Auto Provisioning (POAP) and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol service ( LDAP).

The topology views are also integrated with an event/messaging mechanism using the open source package BlazeDS to dynamically update the display whenever any changes in the network are detected

There are two separate views:

• Inter Switch Links View

• Edge Ports View

Note You can use the Topology View or Table View icons to switch between different views.
