The Device View

Menu Structure

By clicking on various areas of the Device View display, you can access menus with device-, module-, and port-level options, as well as utility applications which apply to the device. The following illustration displays the menu structure and indicates how to use the mouse to access the various menus.

NOTE

By default, the SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module performs traditional switching (or bridging). Depending on the version of firmware you have installed, the module can also be configured to perform pre-standard 802.1Q VLAN switching or Enterasys SecureFast Switching. (Check your firmware release notes to see if your version of firmware supports these features).

For SmartSwitch 6000 and Matrix E7 modules that support 802.1Q VLANs or SecureFast Switching, the toggle from traditional bridging to 802.1Q or SecureFast Switching is performed via Local Management. Refer to your Local Management documentation for details.

When using NetSight Element Manager to manage a device configured for SecureFast Switching, no bridging-related windows or port status display options will be available. All other management options will be available.
