The MultiSwitch 700 Device View
2-12 Viewing Device Information
• Performance Graph brings up windows that visually display bridging
performance at the selected interface; refer to the Bridging chapter in the Tools
Guide
for more information.
• Source Addressing allows you to view the source MAC addresses
communicating through the currently selected interface.
• I/F Statistics launches a window that displays MIB-II interface statistics for the
selected interface. See Chapter 3, Statistics , for more information.
• Configuration allows you to configure Ethernet ports for Standard or Full
Duplex Mode, or configure operational parameters for Fast Ethernet ports,
depending on the type of interface selected.
• Alarm Configuration launches the RMON-based Basic and Advanced Alarm
applications; see Chapter 4, Alarm Configuration , for details. This selection is
available for all bridge port interfaces — even those (like ATM) that do not
specifically support RMON functionality — as long as at least one Ethernet or
Fast Ethernet port is on the module.
• Statistics launches the highest level of statistics currently available for the
selected port. For standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet ports, RMON statistics
will be displayed if the RMON Default MIB component is active; if it has been
disabled, MIB-II interface statistics will display. See Chapter 3,
Statistics , for
more information.
• Enable/Disable Port activates or disables bridging for the selected port,
respectively; refer to the Bridging chapter in the Tools Guide, and Enabling
and Disabling Ports , on page 2-74 , for more information.
Port Status Displays
When you open the Logical View of the chassis, each port will display its current
