The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View

MAC address was found. The board and port index numbers are separated by a period; for example, a Port Instance of 1.2 refers to board (port group) 1 and port number 2.

To use the Device Find Source Address window:

1.In the Address Mode field, select the format of the Source Address you wish to find, either MAC or Canonical.

2.In the Enter Address text box, enter the Source Address you wish to find in the appropriate XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX format.

NOTE

If you enter the MAC format of a specified address, and then click on Canonical, NetSight Element Manager will do the address conversion for you, from the Ethernet hexadecimal format to the Token Ring Canonical format. The same is also true if you enter the Canonical format of a specified address and then select MAC.

3.Click on the Find It! button. A “Processing Request” message displays in the status bar at the bottom of the window.

If the specified MAC address is located, a list of the interface(s) through which the given address is communicating displays in the list box. A status message at the bottom of the window will display the number of interfaces through which the given MAC address is communicating.

If the specified MAC address cannot be found, a “Source Address not found” message displays.

Managing the Hub

In addition to the performance and configuration information described in the preceding sections, the Chassis View also provides you with the tools you need to configure your device and keep it operating properly. Hub management functions include setting operating parameters for Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and COM ports; redirecting traffic; viewing system resources; performing 802.1Q VLAN configuration; setting broadcast suppression; configuring port priority; setting device date and time; and enabling and disabling ports.

Configuring Ports

The Configuration options available for FDDI, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, and COM ports allow you to configure operating parameters specific to each port type: for FDDI and standard Ethernet ports, you can set the Duplex Mode; for Fast Ethernet ports on first generation devices, you can set a variety of duplex mode and negotiation parameters; for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports on second generation devices you can set speed, duplex mode, and flow
