Introduction

Device Name

Displays the user-defined name of the device. The device name can be changed via the System Group window; see the Generic SNMP User’s Guide for details.

IP Address

Displays the device’s IP (Internet Protocol) Address. This will be one of two addresses:

The Network IP address assigned to the MultiSwitch 700 chassis (if a network-level IP address has been assigned to the module).

The individual module IP address (if IP addresses have been assigned on a per-module basis).

Both of these IP address are assigned via Local Management to the Host interface of each module in the MultiSwitch 700 chassis. The IP addresses cannot be changed remotely via NetSight Element Manager. Note that although each interface on the MultiSwitch 700 module has its own MAC, or physical, address, only a single IP address is assigned to the module or chassis as a whole.

Location

Displays the user-defined location of the device or chassis. The location is entered through the System Group window; see the Generic SNMP User’s Guide for details.

MAC Address

Displays the manufacturer-set MAC address associated with the network IP address of the MultiSwitch 700 chassis, or the module IP address of the currently monitored MultiSwitch 700 module. Note that MAC addresses are factory-set and cannot be altered through management.

Using the Mouse

This document assumes you are using a Windows-compatible mouse with two buttons; if you are using a three button mouse, you should ignore the operation of the middle button when following procedures in this document.
