The IRM2 Chassis View

•Name..., which allows you to assign a name to the selected board; this name will be displayed in many board-level windows. See Setting a Board Name, page 2-17, for details.

•Enable, which allows you to enable all ports on the selected board; see Enabling Boards, page 2-17.

The Port Menus

For Ethernet MIM ports, menu selections will include Statistics, Timer Statistics, Performance Graph, and Alarm Limits (the same options provided on the repeater and board menus); Enable and Disable at the port level; and an additional port-specific selection:

•Source Addressing..., which displays the current source address table for each port. See Chapter 4, Source Address Functions, for more information.

The IRM2 Module itself (Board 1) has one additional port-related option:

•Port Association..., which lets you select which of its two front panel ports — AUI or Fiber Optic —þwill be used as the repeater interface for a connected network segment.

MIM Port Status Displays

When you open the Chassis View window, each port on the IRM2 and the associated MIMs installed in the hub will display its Admin/Link status (defined below); to change this status display, select one of the options on the Port Status menu, as described in the following sections.

Selecting a Port Status View

To change the status view of your ports:

1.Click on Port Status on the menu bar at the top of the Chassis View window; a menu will appear.

2.Drag down (and to the right, if necessary) to select the status information you want to display. The port text boxes will display the appropriate status information.

Port status view options are:

Load

If you choose Load, the port text boxes will display the percentage of network load processed by each port during the last polling interval. This percentage reflects the network load generated by devices connected to the port compared to the theoretical maximum load (10 Mbits/sec) of an Ethernet network.
