Enterasys Networks IRM2 manual Front Panel Information, Port Locking/Unlocking, Connection Status

The IRM2 Chassis View

NOTE

Note that up to 24 ports can be displayed simultaneously on a module. If a module has a higher port density than 24 ports, Up and Down arrows will appear at the top and bottom of the port stack so that you can scroll through the remaining ports.

Front Panel Information

The areas outside the main MIM display area provide the following device information:

IP

The Internet Protocol address assigned to the IRM2; this field will display the IP address you have used to create the IRM2 icon. IP addresses are assigned via Local Management.

Port Locking/Unlocking

The port locked and unlocked symbols indicate whether port locking is enabled or disabled, respectively. See Chapter 4, Source Address Functions, for further information.

Connection Status

This color-coded area indicates the current state of communication between

NetSight Element Manager and the IRM2.

•Green indicates the IRM2 is responding to device polls (valid connection).

•Magenta indicates that the IRM2 is in a temporary stand-by mode while it responds to a physical change in the hub (a board is inserted or removed); note that board and port menus are inactive during this stand-by state.

•Blue indicates an unknown contact status — polling has not yet been established with the IRM2.

•Red indicates the IRM2 is not responding to device polls (device is off line, or device polling has failed across the network for some other reason).

UpTime

The amount of time, in a days hh:mm:ss format, that the IRM2 has been running since the last start-up.

Port Status

If management for your device supports a variable port display (detailed in Port Status Displays later in this chapter), this field will show the display currently in effect. If only a single port display is available--or if the default view is in effect--this field will state Default.
