Viewing Device Information 2-7

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 VLA Ns or S ecureFast
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.
