DEVICE MANAGEMENT
Spanning Tree Info
Displays the port's spanning tree parameters.
Note - Setting a port's Port parameter to 'disabled' does not automatically set the Port
State parameter under Detail Info to 'disabled'. As a result, the port's image may not turn
red as expected.
Note - The current firmware version accepts values in the range [0-255] inclusive for the
Port Priority parameter regardless of the active spanning tree protocol version.
Note - The current firmware version accepts values in the range [0-65535] inclusive for
the Port Path Cost parameter regardless of the active spanning tree protocol version.
Enable
Enables the port.
Note - Under the Sun Solaris platform, the AT-View Plus Device Manager application
may terminate abnormally if multiple ports have been selected and each dialog box with
the message "May I set 'atiswitchPortState.n' to up" is clicked one after the other.
Disable
Disables the port.
Note - Under the Sun Solaris platform, the AT-View Plus Device Manager application
may terminate abnormally if multiple ports have been selected and each dialog box with
the message "May I set 'atiswitchPortState.n' to down" is clicked one after the other.
Port Mirroring
Displays port mirroring parameters and allows configuration of port mirroring state,
source, and destination.
Note - Valid MIB Set values for the Mirroring Destination Port parameter should range
from 0 to 24. However, the current firmware version allows the user to enter values up to
65535. Attempting to enter values greater than 65535 will cause the new value to be
converted to its equivalent wrap-around value; i.e., 65536 will become 0, 65537 will
become 1, and so on.
Note - The current firmware version does not allow the Port Mirroring Status parameter
to be set to 'receive' and 'transmit'. Attempting to do so will result in the error message:
"The error occurred with 'Set' operation. Error: bad value".
Note - By default, the Port Mirroring Status parameter is set to 'disabled' and the
Mirroring Destination Port parameter is set to 0. From this default state, the Port
Mirroring Status parameter can be set to 'both' successfully. However, to set the Port
Mirroring Status parameter back to 'disabled', the Mirroring Destination Port parameter
must be set to a non-zero value.
Note - Any change made to the Mirroring Source Ports parameter while the Mirroring
Destination Port parameter is set to 0 will take effect internally but will not be reflected in
