BRIM Management Applications

When a device (e.g., MicroMMAC, NBR-620, EMM-E6, or ESXMIM) has a BRIM

installed and enabled, additional applications will be available from the Chassis

View window. These applications will depend on the type of BRIM installed in

your device.

¥

Bridge Status

will be available from the

Device

menu

for all devices with

BRIMs installed. The Bridging options that are available from the Bridge Status

window will vary depending on the device and the type of BRIM you have

installed; see

Chapter 2, Bridging,

for details on the bridge applications.

¥

Router Utilities

(

Basic Router ConÞguration

and

Advanced Router

) will be available from the

Tools

menu when a BRIM is

installed and enabled on your device. For more information, see the
