The 9A128-01 Module View

IP

The Module View window title displays the device’s IP (Internet Protocol) Address; this will be the IP address you have used to create the 9A128-01 module in the Chassis Setup window, or the IP address used to create the device icon. IP addresses are assigned via Local Management, and cannot be changed via SPECTRUM Element Manager. Note that although each interface on the 9A128-01 module has its own MAC, or physical, address, only a single IP address is assigned.

Connection Status

This color-coded area indicates the current state of communication between SPECTRUM Element Manager and the 9A128-01.

•Green indicates the 9A128-01 is responding to device polls (valid connection).

•Magenta indicates that the 9A128-01 is in a temporary stand-by mode while it responds to a physical change in the hub (a board is inserted or removed or a board’s FNB connection has been reconfigured); note that board and port menus are inactive during this stand-by state.

•Blue indicates an unknown contact status – polling has not yet been established with the 9A128-01.

•Red indicates the 9A128-01 is not responding to device polls (device is off line, or device polling has failed across the network for some other reason).

UpTime

The amount of time, in a days hh:mm:ss format, that the 9A128-01 has been running since the last start-up.

Port Status

Indicates the Port Status display selection currently in effect for the FDDI port display. The default port status view is connection status; if you have not changed the port status selection since launching the Module View window, this field will display Default. For more information about changing the port status display, see Selecting a Port Status View on page 2-9.

MAC

The physical layer address assigned to the interface through which SPECTRUM Element Manager is communicating with the device. Note that each interface on the 9A128-01 module has its own MAC address; these addresses are hard-coded in the device, and are not configurable.

Boot Prom

The revision of BOOT PROM installed in the 9A128-01.

Firmware

The revision of device firmware stored in the 9A128-01’s FLASH PROMs.
