20CHAPTER 2: USING DEVICE VIEW
Managing Media,
Modules,
Segments, and
Ports
Device View enables you to set up all aspects of the devices you manage.
You can select and work with:
■Devices
■Console ports
■Modules
■Transceivers
■Segments
■Ports
■Virtual LANs
■Trunks
In many cases, you can choose multiple objects and set them up at the same time.
You select an object in Device View by clicking on it, then select other objects by either dragging over them, or clicking the first object and then holding down Ctrl and choosing the other objects you want to select. When you select objects, Device View highlights them. You can deselect objects by clicking on them again.
When you highlight a port, Device View highlights LEDs and other status indicators associated with the port, to make it easier to check port status.
When you choose to set up multiple devices or ports, Device View checks the management features that the devices support. If some of your changes cannot be made, because one or more devices do not support them, Device View provides you with a detailed summary of the changes that were applied, and those that were not applicable.
