The Device Menu
From the Device Menu at the Chassis View window menu bar, you can access the
following selections:
•Device Type displays a description of the device being modeled. See Viewing
Hardware Types, on page2-16.
•Device Find Source Address enables you to determine through which
interface a specified MAC address is communicating by searching the 802.1d
bridge Filtering database. Ethernet MicroLAN switches will also search the
repeater Source Address Table (SAT). If the specified MAC address is located,
a list of interface(s) through which the given address is communicating will be
displayed.
•Edit Device Time and Edit Device Date allow you to set the SmartSwitch
2000’s internal clock. See Setting the Device Date and Time, on page2-70.
•System Group allows you to manage the SmartSwitch 2000 via SNMP MIB II.
Refer to the Generic SNMP User’s Guide for further information.
•I/F Summary lets you view statistics (displayed both graphically and
numerically) for the traffic processed by each network interface on your
SmartSwitch 2000. See Viewing I/F Summary Information, on page2-18.
•VLAN menu option displays in the Device menu if your device is configured
to operate in 802.1Q mode. The windows launched via the VLAN option allow
you to configure and operate port-based VLANs on the device. See 802.1Q
VLANs, on page 2-56, for details.
•Port Redirector allows you to redirect traffic from one or more interfaces to
another interface on your SmartSwitch 2000; see Redirecting Traffic on the
SmartSwitch 2000, on page2-44.
•System Resources displays current physical and logical system resources and
utilizations on your SmartSwitch 2000; see The System Resources Window,
on page 2-53.
•Broadcast Suppression allows you to monitor broadcast traffic statistics on
each interface and set thresholds to limit broadcast traffic over your
SmartSwitch 2000; see Broadcast Suppression, on page2-67.
•P
riority Configuration allows you to establish priority packet forwarding for
the SmartSwitch 2000. See Priority Configuration, on page2-46.
•Com Port Configuration allows you to administratively Enable or Disable and
set the function of the COM Port; see Configuring the COM Port, page2-39.
NOTE
The Priority Configuration menu option only displays for devices that respond to any
of NetSight Element Manager’s queries to the following OIDs:
ctPriorityExtPortStatus, ctPriorityExtMaxNumMACEntries, or
ctPriorityExtNumPktTypeEntries. If your device’s firmware does not respond to these
queries, contact the Global Technical Assistance Center for upgrade information.
