Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Hub View

Navigating through the Hub View; monitoring hub performance; managing the hub

The heart of the SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the 7C0x SmartSwitch is the Hub View, a graphical interface that gives you access to many of the functions that provide control over the 7C0x hub and its installed modules.

Using the Hub View

There are two ways to open the Hub View: if you are working within a network management system, you can select the Hub View option from the icon menu; specific directions for creating a 7C0x SmartSwitch icon and accessing the icon menu can be found in the appropriate Installing and Using... guide. If you are running the 7C0x SmartSwitch module in a stand-alone mode, type the following at the command line:

spmarun fps <IP address> <community name>

The community name you use to start the module must have at least Read access; for full management functionality, you should use a community name that provides Read/Write or Superuser access. For more information on community names, consult the appropriate Installing and Using... guide, and/or the Community Names chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide.
