	including a branch showing all unconfigured devices.
	• Interactive picture of the switch, or stack — shows the port state
	or the Explorer, which provides port and VLAN details for the
	switch or stack.
	• Information section — provides details about diagnostics, traps,
	errors and the system. Using this window, you can show activity
	statistics for the switch (or the stack) and for individual ports.
