The MultiSwitch 700 Device View

The Device Menu

From the Device Menu, you can access the following selections:

Device Type displays a window containing a description of the device being modeled. See Device Type, on page 2-20, for details.

Device Find Source Address enables you to determine through which interface a specified MAC address is communicating by searching the repeater Source Address Table (SAT) and the 802.1d bridge Filtering database. If the specified MAC address is located, a list of interface(s) through which the given address is communicating will be displayed. See Using Device Find Source Address, on page 2-27.

Edit Device Time and Edit Device Date allow you to set the MultiSwitch 700 module’s internal clock; see Setting the Device Date and Time, on page 2-72.

System Group allows you to manage the MultiSwitch 700 via SNMP MIB II. Refer to the Generic SNMP Management Guide for further information.

I/F Summary lets you view statistics (displayed both graphically and numerically) for the traffic processed by each network interface on your device. See Viewing I/F Summary Information, on page 2-22, for details.

VLAN option displays in the Device menu if your module is configured to operate in 802.1Q mode. The windows launched via the VLAN option allow you to configure and operate port-based VLANs on the module. See 802.1Q VLANs, on page 2-60, for details.

ATM Connections option displays if you have a DELHA-UA installed in your module. This launches a window which lets you configure Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) for the module. See Chapter 6, ATM Configuration, for more information.

Port Redirector launches a window that allows you to mirror — or redirect — traffic received or transmitted at one port on your module to one or more other ports, so that you can unobtrusively attach network analyzers to ascertain problems or trends in your data flow. For more information about using the Port Redirector window, see Redirecting Traffic on the MultiSwitch 700 Module, on page 2-46.

System Resources displays information about the processor used on the monitored MultiSwitch 700 module, as well as the amount of installed and currently available FLASH memory, DRAM, and NVRAM. See The System Resources Window, on page 2-57.

Priority Configuration allows you to establish priority packet forwarding. For more information, see Priority Configuration, on page 2-48.

NOTE

The Priority Configuration menu option only displays for modules that respond to any of NetSight Element Manager’s queries to the following OIDs: ctPriorityExtPortStatus, ctPriorityExtMaxNumMACEntries, or ctPriorityExtNumPktTypeEntries.
