C H A P T E R 2 Intel Device View

 

After a Switch or Stack is Contacted

Commands

When Intel Device View contacts a switch, the basic commands are

 

supplemented with:

 

Local Management access — provides Telnet access to monitor-

 

ing functions embedded in the switch.

 

RMON facility — gathers information about the network traffic,

 

monitors traffic on subnets and enables you to define alarms on

 

the individual ports.

 

Stack Synchronization Manager (for stacks only) — enables you

 

to establish a stack from a group of switches connected via a

 

Matrix Module, or add a switch to an existing stack and then syn-

 

chronize their configurations.

 

Switch Position Organizer (for stacks only) — enables you to

 

move the switches displayed on screen around in the stack.

 

Color Code Matrix Ports (for stacks only) — colors the individ-

 

ual ports on the Matrix Module. This simplifies the task of trac-

 

ing cables, as the ports on the Stack Interface Modules become

 

the same color as the corresponding Matrix Module port.
