Station Detail Display

Pressing on a line in a station or server list brings up a Station Detail display (Figure 2-6). This display shows information pertaining to the resource. The information may include the frame type used, the network, node, and MAC addresses, the equipment manufacturer, and the types of router protocols or algorithms available.

From the Station Detail Display menu, press (Tool Menu) to access the following:

IP Trace Route

Ping + SNMP

Ping

Ping Key Device

qAdd to Key Devices Find Node

To access the SNMP agent, the Network Assistant uses the "public" community string (password). If the agent has a different community string, access the SNMP Config menu from the Central Setup screen (read “SNMP” in Chapter 6).

After you press (Ping+SNMP), the station's ping results, SNMP name, description, and uptime (in days, hours, minutes, and seconds) are displayed (Figure 2-7). Note that the SNMP name is cut off at 22 characters to fit on the display.

Press (Ping + SNMP) to ping the station or resource and get any SNMP information available. For an IP ping, the Network Assistant uses the source and router IP addresses currently entered in the IP configuration screen under Connectivity Tests. These addresses must be valid to get a ping response. For an IPX ping, the Network Assistant automatically determines a source address.
