If you enter the MAC format of a specified address, and then click on Canonical, NetSight Element Manager will do the address conversion for you. The same is also true if you enter the Canonical format of a specified address and then select MAC.
3.Click on the Find It! button. A “Processing Request” message will appear in the status bar at the bottom of the window.
If the specified MAC address is located, a list of the interface(s) through which the given address is communicating will appear in the list box. A status message at the bottom of the window will display the number of interfaces through which the given MAC address is communicating.
If the specified MAC address cannot be found, a “ Source Address not found” message will appear.

If the MAC address is entered in an incorrect format, an “ Invalid MAC Address. Enter Valid MAC Address” message will appear. Enter the address in the correct
Managing the Module
In addition to the performance and configuration information described in the preceding sections, the Device View also provides you with the tools you need to configure your SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module and keep it operating properly. Hub management functions include setting operating parameters for Ethernet, FDDI, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and COM ports; managing an attached UPS; redirecting traffic from one module interface to another; setting port priority parameters; configuring transmission thresholds for broadcast packets; viewing and configuring system resources; setting device date and time; and enabling and disabling bridging at specific port interfaces.
Configuring Ports
The Configuration options available for FDDI, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet and COM ports allow you to configure operating parameters specific to each port type: for FDDI and standard Ethernet ports, you can set the Duplex Mode; for Fast Ethernet ports on first generation modules, you can set a variety of duplex mode and negotiation parameters; for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports on second generation modules you can set speed, duplex mode, and flow control parameters; and for COM ports, you can select the operation you wish the port to perform, and set any associated speed parameters. FDDI, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Port Configuration windows are
