Viewing Device Information 2-9
The Device View
The Device Menu
From the Device menu at the Device View menu bar, you can access the following
selections:
•Device Type displays a window containing a description of the device being modeled.
See Device Type, on page 2-26, for details.
•Device Find Source Address enables you to determine which interface a specified
MAC address is communicating through by searching the 802.1d bridge Filtering
database. Ethernet MicroLAN modules (e.g., the 6E123-50 or 6E144-49) 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 6000 or
Matrix E7 module’s internal clock; see Setting the Device Date and Time, on
page2-103
•System Group allows you to manage the SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 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 device. See Viewing I/F
Summary Information, on page 2-27, for details.
•802.1Q VLAN appears in the Device menu if your module 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 module. See 802.1Q VLANs, on page2-70, for
details.
•ATM Connections appears in the Device menu if you have an HSIM-A6DP installed
in your module. This launches a window which lets you configure Permanent Virtual
Circuits (PVCs) for the module. See Chapter 7, ATM Configuration, for more
information.
•Port Redirect launches a window that allows you to mirror — or redirect — traffic
received or transmitted at one port on your module to one or more other ports, so that
you can unobtrusively attach network analyzers to ascertain problems or trends in your
data flow. For more information about using the Port Redirect window, see
Redirecting Traffic, on page2-54.
•System Resources displays information about the processor used on the monitored
SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module, as well as the amount of installed and
currently available FLASH memory, DRAM, and NVRAM. See The System
Resources Window, on page2-66.
• Priority Configuration allows you to establish priority packet forwarding for the
SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module. For more information, see Priority
Configuration, on page 2-56.
