The Device View
Figure2-4. The Backplane 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.
