C H A P T E R 2 Intel Device View

 

Device View (Main Display)

Switch contacted

When Intel Device View contacts the switch or stack, the front (inter-

 

face side) of the switch or stack is displayed.

This view provides a real-time view of the switch, or stack and ports, which behave in the same way as the physical switch. For example, the LEDs change color according to the state of the switch/stack. You can fully manage the switch or stack using this display.
