Switch Connected Addresses

Networks are becoming increasingly complicated entities. It is not always clear which users are connected to the network and how. The Switch Connected Addresses feature allows you to see which users and devices are connected to selected ports or modules. Keeping track of this information in the network can increase efficiency, security and confidentiality.

Switch Connected Addresses provides a list of all selected ports along with the names (IP address or host name), if available, and MAC addresses of the elements connected to them.

To view the connected stations:

1Open the Configuration menu and select Switch Connected Addresses. The Switch Connected Addresses for Device window appears.

Figure 8.1 Switch Connected Addresses for Device Window

The rows of the Switch Connected Addresses window comprise the following information:

Module - The number of the module and the module type.

Port/Bank - The number of the port in the module.

List of stations connected to port - When a port is selected, the stations connected to the port are listed. These stations can be sorted by the MAC address or host name, or they can be left unsorted.
