Cabletron Systems CSX200, CSX400 Using the Mouse, IP Address, Location, MAC Address, Introduction

Introduction

IP Address

Displays the deviceÕs IP (Internet Protocol) Address; this will be the IP address used to deÞne the device icon. The IP address is assigned via Local Management to the CSXÕs internal Host interface; it cannot be changed via SPECTRUM Element Manager.

Location

Displays the user-deÞned location of the device. The location is entered through the System Group window; see the Generic SNMP UserÕs Guide for details.

MAC Address

Displays the manufacturer-set MAC address associated with the IP address used to deÞne the device icon; this will be the MAC address assigned to the CSXÕs internal Host interface. Note that each physical interface in the CSX has its own MAC address; these addresses are factory-set and cannot be altered.

Using the Mouse

This document assumes you are using a Windows-compatible mouse with two buttons; if you are using a three button mouse, you should ignore the operation of the middle button when following procedures in this document. Procedures within the SPECTRUM Element Manager document set refer to these buttons as follows:

Left Mouse Button

Right Mouse Button

Figure 1-2. Mouse Buttons

For many mouse operations, this document assumes that the left (primary) mouse button is to be used, and references to activating a menu or button will not include instructions about which mouse button to use.

However, in instances in which right (secondary) mouse button functionality is available, instructions will explicitly refer to right mouse button usage. Also, in situations where you may be switching between mouse buttons in the same area or window, instructions may also explicitly refer to both left and right mouse buttons.
