Interpreting Switch Agent Test Messages
The test information that is generated when communicating with a switch is slightly different from the
information generated when you test an agent.
When you test a switch, the TrafficDirector software queries the switch and informs you if the query
passed or failed. Figure 24-4 shows the Switch Test window.
