HP Netsight manual Node Management Overview

Node Management Overview

A Device View displays information for a single module; a Chassis View, for all modules installed in the chassis. Interfaces are color-coded to indicate status.

Basic information about the device, including contact status, surrounds the port display area. The question mark in the status icon indicates that NetSight Element Manager does not recognize the device type.

Any network interfaces that NetSight Element Manager detects on such a device will be color-coded for SNMP MIB-II ifOperStatus (interface operational status): Up (green), Down (blue) or Test (magenta). Any identifying fields provided for the device (e.g., an interface description available from the Port menu, or the Device Type available from the Device menu) are taken directly from SNMP MIB-II information stored at the device, and management is limited to the Generic SNMP application. Refer to your Generic SNMP User’s Guide for details.
