The Device View

•Source Addressing allows you to view the source MAC addresses communicating through the currently selected interface.

•HSIM W87 Config (T3) allows you to configure a T3 interface for an installed HSIM-W87; see Chapter 8, HSIM-W87 Configuration, for details.

•I/F Statistics launches a window that displays MIB-II interface statistics for the selected interface.

•Configuration allows you to configure Ethernet ports for Standard or Full Duplex Mode, or configure operational parameters for Fast Ethernet ports, depending on the type of interface selected.

•Alarm Configuration launches the RMON-based Basic and Advanced Alarm applications; see Chapter 4, Alarm Configuration, for details. Note that this selection is available for all bridge port interfaces — even those (like ATM) that do not specifically support RMON functionality — as long as at least one Ethernet or Fast Ethernet port is on the module.
