The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View

The Utilities Menu

The Utilities menu provides access to the MIB Tools utility, which provides direct access to the SmartSwitch 2000’s MIB information, and to the RMON utility, a remote monitoring feature that is supported by many intelligent devices. These selections are also available from the Utilities menu at the top of NetSight Element Manager’s primary window. Refer to the Tools Guide for a thorough explanation of the MIB Tools and RMON utilities.

The Help Menu

The Help Menu has three selections:

Mibs Supported brings up the Chassis Manager window, described in The Chassis Manager Window, on page 2-15.

Chassis Manager Help brings up a help window with information specifically related to using the Chassis Manager and Chassis View windows.

About Chassis Manager brings up a version window for the Chassis Manager application in use.

The Module Menu

The Module menu for the SmartSwitch 2000 device provides mostly bridging-related selections, many of which are also available from the Bridge Status window:

Module Type brings up a window containing a description of the selected board; see Viewing Hardware Types, on page 2-16.

Bridge Status opens a window that provides an overview of bridging information for each port, and allows you to access all other bridge-related options. Refer to the Bridging chapter in the Tools Guide for more information.

Broadcast Suppression allows you to set a threshold on the number of broadcast packets issued from each port on the SmartSwitch 2000 device when it is operating in traditional switch (bridge) mode. See Broadcast Suppression, on page 2-67.

Frame Translation displays in the Module menu if your SmartSwitch 2000 has an installed HSIM-F6. Refer to Chapter 6, FDDI Applications, for information on this menu selection.

Device Find Source Address enables you to determine through which interface a specified MAC address is communicating by searching the 802.1d bridge Filtering database. Ethernet MicroLAN switches will also search the repeater Source Address Table (SAT). If the specified MAC address is located, a list of interface(s) through which the given address is communicating will be displayed.

Performance Graph displays performance between all bridging ports on the SmartSwitch 2000; see the Bridging chapter in the Tools Guide for more information.
