Viewing the Port Description

Choosing the Description... option on the individual port interface menus brings up a window that describes the interface you have selected. This description is based on a value returned by the ifDescr MIB. Two possibilities for a CSX interface description are shown in Figure 2-5.

Managing the Device

The Chassis View provides you with the basic tools available to conÞgure your device and keep it operating properly.

NOTE

Until future releases of SPECTRUM Element Manager provide more comprehensive support of the CSX200 and CSX400 CyberSWITCHes, Cabletron recommends that anything beyond the basic conÞguration options described in this section be handled with the QuickSET utility. See your QuickSET documentation for more information.
