The FN100 Chassis View

The Utilities Menu

From the Utilities menu you can select:

•MIB Tools, provides direct access to the FN100’s MIB information. This selection is also available from the Tools menu at the top of the NetSight Element Manager’s main window. Refer to the Tools Guide for more information on the MIB Tools utility.

•RMON, for launching the Remote Network Monitoring application. RMON is described in its own User’s Guide. Like MIB Tools, RMON can also be launched from the Tools menu.

NOTE

Using the MIBTools utility, you will have access to MIB information for FN100 interfaces that are assigned to the default virtual switch. MIB information for interfaces assigned to a virtual switch other than the default virtual switch will be unavailable via MIBTools. See Chapter 3, FN100 Virtual Switching, for details on viewing and changing the default virtual switch setting.
