The Device View

From the Backplane View you can display the device interfaces with respect to their bridging status or their MIB II Interface status. The currently selected Port Display Form is shown in the label above the interfaces.

Below the Port Display

Form label, the interfaces appear

according to the currently selected Display Form. In the Bridge display form, you can access management options for the individual interfaces.

To change the display form between Bridge and Interface, click on the label and select the desired display form from the resulting menu. Bridge is the default display form.

When the display form is in Bridge mode, clicking on an interface results in a menu of options applicable to the selected backplane interface. The Performance Graph option appears only if the port’s speed is less than 100 mb/s. For information on enabling or disabling the interface, see Enabling or Disabling a Backplane Interface, on page 2-23. For details on the remaining menu options, refer to their entries in The Port Menus, on page 2-13.
