The SmartSwitch 7000 Chassis View
2-4 Viewing Chassis Information
Front Panel Information
In addition to the main interface display, the Chassis View window provides the
following device information:
IP
The Chassis View window title displays the deviceÕs IP (Internet Protocol)
Address; this will be the IP address used to deÞne the device icon. The IP address
is assigned via Local Management to the 7X00 Control ModuleÕs internal Host
interface; it cannot be changed via SPECTRUM Element Manager. Note that
although each interface in the SmartSwitch 7000 hub has its own MAC, or
physical, address, only a single IP address is assigned.
Connection Status
This color-coded area indicates the current state of communication between
SPECTRUM Element Manager and the SmartSwitch 7000.
¥ Green indicates the SmartSwitch 7000 is responding to device polls (valid
connection).
¥ Magenta indicates that the SmartSwitch 7000 is in a temporary stand-by mode
while it responds to a physical change in the hub (such as when a board is
inserted); note that board and port menus are inactive during this stand-by
state.
¥ Blue indicates an unknown contact status; polling has not yet been established
with the SmartSwitch 7000.
¥ Red indicates the SmartSwitch 7000 is not responding to device polls (device
is off line, or device polling has failed across the network for some other
reason).
UpTime
The amount of time, in a days hh/mm/ss format, that the SmartSwitch 7000 has
been running since the last start-up.
Port Status
Indicates the Port Status display selection currently in effect. The default port
status view is bridge status; if you have not changed the port status selection since
launching the Chassis View window, this Þeld will display Default. For more
information about changing the port status display, see
page 2-10 .
MAC
Displays the manufacturer-set MAC address associated with the IP address used
to deÞne the device icon; again, this will be the MAC address assigned to the 7X00
Control ModuleÕs internal Host interface. Note that each interface in the
SmartSwitch 7000 chassis has its own MAC address; these addresses are
factory-set and cannot be altered.
