The Device View

NOTE

The Priority Configuration menu option will only appear in the Device menu for modules that respond to any of NetSight Element Manager’s queries to the following OIDs: ctPriorityExtPortStatus, ctPriorityExtMaxNumMACEntries, or ctPriorityExtNumPktTypeEntries. If your module’s firmware does not respond to these queries, contact the Enterasys Global Call Center for firmware upgrade information.

•Com Port Configuration allows you to configure the settings of the COM ports on the SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module; see Configuring the COM Port, on page 2-36, for details.

•Broadcast Suppression allows you to set a threshold on the number of broadcast packets issued from each port on the SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module when it is operating in traditional switch (bridge) mode. See Broadcast Suppression, on page 2-64.

•FDDI Statistics option will appear in the Device menu if you have an HSIM-F6 installed in your module. This launches a window which displays traffic-related statistics for each Station Management (SMT) entity present on an installed HSIM-F6. See Chapter 6, FDDI Management, for more information.
