Editing objects

You can edit objects and values in the Device Manager device view in the following ways:

•Select an object and, on the toolbar, click the Edit Selected button.

The edit dialog box opens for that object.

•From a switch or port shortcut menu, choose Edit. The edit dialog box opens for that object.

When you change the value in a box, the changed value is displayed in bold. However, changes are not applied to the running configuration until you click Apply.

Note: Many dialog boxes contain a Refresh button. After you apply changes to fields, click Refresh to display the new information in the dialog box.

Working with statistics and graphs

Device Manager tracks a wide range of statistics for each port. You can view and graph statistics for a single object or multiple objects. For information about the statistics tracked for the switch and ports, refer to “Statistics for single and multiple objects” on page 37 and “Graphing chassis statistics” on page 63.

This section describes the types of statistics and graphs available, the graph dialog boxes, and the procedure for creating a graph.
