Viewing NetBios Information
The NetBIOS utility allows you to view information about specific NetBIOS MAC
addresses for which the TSX-1620 has forwarding and/or filtering information.
Such information is used by the transparent bridging function when determining
how to propagate a received frame. The NetBIOS Configuration window displays
each detected NetBIOS MAC address and its corresponding name, port, and RIF
field. To display the NetBIOS Configuration window:
1. Click on the module index or module type to display the Module menu (see
Figure 2-3 on page 2-5).
2. Drag down to Module Utilities, then right to Net Bios, and release.
Figure 2-12. The NetBIOS Configuration Window
Each NetBIOS MAC address for which the TSX-1620 has forwarding and/or
filtering information is displayed in the list at the top of the window. This
window will only display information about a MAC address after the device has
received a frame from that address. When you highlight an entry in the list, its
corresponding information is displayed in the fields beneath the list.
