In addition to the performance and configuration information described in the preceding sections, the Chassis View also provides you with the tools available to configure your device and keep it operating properly. Hub management for the FN100 is comprised of locating source addresses, viewing interface statistics and CSMACD statistics, as well as administratively enabling and disabling the ports.
Using Device Find Source Address
When you select the Device Find Source Address option, the device’s 802.1d Filtering database is searched for the specified MAC address. If it is found, the Component field will display the value “Bridge” indicating that the address was found on a bridging interface, and the Port Instance field will display the index number assigned to the bridge port on which the address was located.
NOTE |
You may receive an error message stating “Can’t Display Source Address” if a Port Instance of “0” or “0.0” is reported. This value indicates that the MAC address is communicating through the backplane instead of through a front panel interface.
