Viewing Chassis Information
The SmartSwitch 7000 Chassis View window ( Figure 2-2 , following page)
provides a graphic representation of the SmartSwitch 7000 hub and its installed
modules, including a color-coded port display which immediately informs you of
the current conÞguration and status of all the port interfaces installed in the
SmartSwitch chassis. Note that the Chassis View window for the 7C03 MMAC
SmartSwitch shows the modules in a vertical position, as they are actually
installed in the MMAC chassis; the Chassis View for the 7C04 and 7C04-R
Workgroup SmartSwitches show the modules in a horizontal position. Note, too,
that the slots in the 7C03 chassis are numbered from left to right; in the 7C04
chassis, theyÕre numbered top to bottom; and on the 7C04-R chassis, theyÕre
numbered bottom to top.
By clicking in designated areas of the chassis graphical display (as detailed later
in this chapter), or by using the menu bar at the top of the Chassis View window,
you can access all of the menus that lead to more detailed windows.
TIP
When you move the mouse cursor over a management Òhot spot,Ó the cursor icon will
change into a hand symbol
to indicate that clicking in the current location will bring
up a management option.
NOTE
Note that up to 24 ports can be displayed simultaneously on a module. If a module has a
higher port density than 24 ports, arrows will appear at the top and bottom (or left and
right, as appropriate) of the port stack so that you can scroll through the remaining ports.
