Managing Media, Modules, Segments, and Ports | 21 |
Using Media Device View also provides two media selection lists called Media and Sub Selection Lists Group which help you to choose the features you want to manage. For
example, this makes it easy to work with all Fast Ethernet ports, find out which ports belong to VLAN 2, or choose all the ports that are connected to a cascaded segment in a stack of PS Hub devices as in Figure 2.
Media — Enables you to choose port types, virtual LANs, or the entire stack
Sub Group — Selects half or full duplex mode, cascaded segment in a stack of segmentable hubs, or VLAN name
Figure 2 Filtering with the Media Selection Bar
To use the media selection lists:
1Choose your selection in the Media list box. Typical media selections are:
■Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit Ethernet, which highlight port interfaces according to port speed
■Console, which highlights all console ports
■Vlan, which enables you to highlight ports that belong to the virtual LAN you choose in the Sub Group list
■SuperStack, which highlights all the devices in a stack
When you make your selection, the options in the Sub Group list box change to reflect the media you want to work with. For example, the sub group may be Half Duplex or Full Duplex, the number of a cascaded segment, or the number of a VLAN.
2Choose your selection in the Sub Group list box. Devices or ports matching your selection are highlighted.
3Manage the selection by clicking the right mouse button and choosing a command from a shortcut menu.
