if three links are selected, one of which is an aggregated link, and the Properties dialog box is launched then the General, Ports, VLANs and Monitoring tabs will be displayed; if a node were added to the selection prior to launching the Properties dialog box then the General and Security tabs would be displayed.

If, for any tab, it is not possible to display information common to the whole selection, the tab shows explanatory text, as shown in Figure 112.

Where possible, 3Com Network Director displays the original layout for each tab.

If the information for a field within a tab is the same for all selected items, that information is displayed. If the information differs between the items, the information shows multiple values.

For example, Figure 113 shows a section of the General tab for two devices of the same type (3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4226T). The Type and Product Number are the same for both devices, so the actual value is displayed for both the Type and Product Number fields. However, the Serial Number is different for the two devices, so the value for Serial Number shows multiple values.
