C H A P T E R 2 Intel Device View

Navigating through Intel

Many commands are available from within Intel Device View. These

Device View

are best accessed using mouse actions. However, Windows users can

 

also access most of them through the menu bar.

The Intel Device View

There are three sections:

window

Device Tree — displays the separate branches on your LAN,

 

 

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.

 

Before a switch is contacted

Basic menu bar

Before a switch or stack is contacted, the following commands are

commands

available through the menu bar. The toolbar buttons are for users us-

 

ing Intel Device View in Windows.

File menu

This contains one command, Exit which enables you to exit the Intel

 

Device View. When a switch or stack is open and the configuration

 

has been changed and not saved to the Flash Memory as the perma-

 

nent configuration, you are asked if you want to save the new config-

 

uration before exiting.

 

Device menu

The Device menu contains the following switch commands:

 

Install — enables you to install a new device, which does not

 

have an IP address, in Intel Device View. Can also be accessed

 

by selecting

.

 

 

Manage — enables a switch or stack that has an IP address

 

already assigned to be managed or configured. Can also be

 

accessed by selecting

.

Discover — enables you to set up how the Device Tree discovers devices and users.

Note: do not leave the Subnet Mask blank or set to 0.0.0.0, as Intel Device View will continually broadcast device discovery messages to all networks and use bandwidth.
