Viewing Chassis Information

The SmartSwitch 7000 Chassis View window (Figure 2-2,following page) provides a graphic representation of the SmartSwitch 7000 hub and its installed modules, including a color-coded port display which immediately informs you of the current conÞguration and status of all the port interfaces installed in the SmartSwitch chassis. Note that the Chassis View window for the 7C03 MMAC SmartSwitch shows the modules in a vertical position, as they are actually installed in the MMAC chassis; the Chassis View for the 7C04 and 7C04-R Workgroup SmartSwitches show the modules in a horizontal position. Note, too, that the slots in the 7C03 chassis are numbered from left to right; in the 7C04 chassis, theyÕre numbered top to bottom; and on the 7C04-R chassis, theyÕre numbered bottom to top.

By clicking in designated areas of the chassis graphical display (as detailed later in this chapter), or by using the menu bar at the top of the Chassis View window, you can access all of the menus that lead to more detailed windows.

When you move the mouse cursor over a management Òhot spot,Ó the cursor icon will

TIP change into a hand symbol to indicate that clicking in the current location will bring up a management option.

NOTE

Note that up to 24 ports can be displayed simultaneously on a module. If a module has a higher port density than 24 ports, arrows will appear at the top and bottom (or left and right, as appropriate) of the port stack so that you can scroll through the remaining ports.
