Front Panel View

When Network Assistant connects to a community or a cluster, you can display the Front Panel view of your device by clicking the Front Panel on the toolbar or by choosing Monitor > View > Front Panel on the feature bar. If the device belongs to a community, you see all of the devices that were selected the last time that the front panel view appeared for that community. If the device is a cluster, you see the cluster members that were selected the last time that the view was displayed.

By using the Front Panel view, you can

Drag and re-arrange the devices that appear.

Select and configure the devices.

Right-click a port and configure it.

Select multiple ports, on the same device or on different devices, and configure the ports at the same time.

Figure 2-2shows a community with these members: Catalyst 4948, 3750, 3560, 3550, 2960, 2955, and 2950 switches and a Catalyst Express 500 switch.
