Switch View

The Switch View displays the switch and status buttons across the top. The status buttons enable access to each element listed.

Click the refresh icon under the Miscellaneous Tasks to update the information on the screen with the current switch information. The display refreshes automatically each time you click a different task in the task panel.

Content page

When you click an item in the task panel, the content for that item displays in the right pane of the window. A content page may contain tabs, display information, launch a wizard, or display a dialog. Figure 21 shows the information displayed from the Port Information tab, and shows a shortcut menu that provides copy and export functions.
