Device List Pane
The Device List pane includes a list of all of the devices that can potentially be added to
PortVision DX and technically located under the tree branch selected from the top. For instance, if
you select a switch from the Device Tree, all of the devices connected to that switch (according to
the Device Tree) display in the Device List.
The Device List pane displays the Device Name, Model, IP Address, MAC Address, Software
Version, and
Device Status . In addition, it displays:
• A green check mark indicates that the device is on-line.
• An IP address of 0.0.0.0 displays when the IP address is disabled or if there is no DHCP
server available.
• A red X indicates that the device is off-line.
• The lock symbol indicates that the device has security enabled (Secure Data or Config
mode).
• A dark green check mark indicates that the device is highlighted.
You can customize the view that PortVision DX provides in the Device Tree and Device List
panes.
For example, you can sort any column in the Device List pane in ascending or descending order
by clicking the Device Name, Model, IP Address, MAC Address, Software Version, or Status in
the title bar. Descriptions of the columns and the different device statuses are provided in the
Scan discussion.
This table illustrates the different device statuses and what they mean.
