Supervisor and Switching Modules

In the Device View, you can right-click on an object and get information on it, or configure it. If you

right-click on a module, the menu shows the module number and gives you the option to configure or

reset the module. If you right-click on a port, the menu shows the port number and gives you the option

to configure, monitor, enable ,disable, set beacon mode, or perform diagnostics on the port.

Tip You can select multiple ports in Device Manager and apply options to all the selected ports at one time.

Either select the ports by clicking the mouse and dragging it around them, or hold down the Control key

and click on each port.

To enable or disable a port, right-click the port and click Enable or Disable from the pop-up menu. To

enable or disable multiple ports, drag the mouse to select the ports and then right-click the selected ports.

Then click Enable or Disable from the pop-up menu.

To manage trunking on one or more ports, right-click the ports and click Configure. In the dialog box

that appears, right-click the current value in the Trunk column and click nonTrunk, trunk, or auto from

the pull-down list.

To create PortChannels using Device Manager, click PortChannels from the Interface menu. For

detailed instructions, see Chapter 17, “PortChannel Configuration.” You can also use Fabric Manager to

conveniently create a PortChannel.

Note To create a PortChannel, all the ports on both ends of the link must have the same port speed, trunking

type, and administrative state.

Context menus are available in both Device Manager views by right-clicking on a device or table.

From Device View:

•Device—Right-click a system, module, or power supply to bring up a menu that gives you the option

to configure or reset the device.

•Port— Right-click a port to bring up a menu that shows you the number of the port you have clicked,

and to give you the option to configure, monitor, enable, disable, set beacon mode, or perform

diagnostics on the port.
