Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Hub View
Figure 2-14. The Bridge Port Source Address Window
The bridge port Source Address window displays the MAC address of each device that has transmitted packets that have been forwarded through the selected bridging interface during the last cycle of the Filtering Database’s defined ageing timer (learned addresses that have not transmitted a packet during one complete cycle of the ageing timer are purged from the Source Address Table). For more information on the Filtering Database, see in Chapter 6, Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Bridge View.
Managing the Hub
In addition to the performance information described in the preceding sections, the Hub View also provides you with the tools you need to configure your hub and keep it operating properly. Hub management functions include setting polling intervals; launching a variety of SPMA Tool applications (including FDDI management applications, and the Bridge View application); performing all available port configuration for Ethernet, FDDI, Fast Ethernet, and COM ports; and enabling and disabling bridge ports.
Launching SPMA Tools from the Hub View
The 7C0x SmartSwitch Hub View provides access to most of the SPMA Tool applications available for your SmartSwitch. These tool applications are also available from the icon menu and the command line; they are described in detail in the SPMA Tools Guide.
