The SmartSwitch 7000 Chassis View

The Board Menus

The Board menu for the 7X00 Control Module (always installed in slot 1) provides mostly bridging-related selections, many of which are also available from the Bridge Status window:

¥Spanning Tree..., which allows you to set bridge parameters when it is operating using the Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) Ð the method that bridges use to decide the controlling (root) bridge when two or more bridges are in parallel. See the bridging chapter of your Tools Guide for more information.

¥Disable/Enable Bridge, which enables or disables bridging across every interface installed in the SmartSwitch 7000 chassis.

¥Module Type..., which brings up a window containing a description of the selected board; see Viewing Hardware Types, page 2-13.

¥Performance Graph..., which visually displays the combined performance of all bridging interfaces installed in the SmartSwitch 7000 hub; see the bridging chapter of your Tools Guide.

Board menus for other NIMs displayed in the Chassis View window provide only the Module Type selection.

The Port Menus

Each port menu offers the following selections:

¥Performance Graph..., which brings up windows that visually display bridging performance at the selected interface; see the bridging chapter of your Tools Guide for details.

¥Source Addressing..., which allows you to view the MAC addresses that are communicating through a selected bridge interface; see the bridging chapter of your Tools Guide for details.

¥I/F Statistics..., which graphically displays color-coded statistical information for each bridge interface; see the bridging chapter of the Tools Guide for details.

¥ConÞguration..., which launches the conÞguration window appropriate to the selected port: for standard Ethernet and FDDI ports, the conÞguration window allows you to set the Duplex Mode; for Fast Ethernet ports, it allows you to conÞgure a number of different options, including auto-negotiation. See ConÞguring Ports, page 2-23; note that there is no ConÞguration currently available for ATM ports.

¥Alarm ConÞguration..., which launches the RMON-based Basic and Advanced Alarm applications; see Chapter 4, Alarm ConÞguration, for details. Note that this selection is available for all bridge port interfaces Ñ even those (like FDDI and ATM) that do not speciÞcally support RMON functionality Ñ as long as at least one Ethernet or Fast Ethernet NIM is installed in the chassis.
