Viewing Chassis Information
Device Type..., which displays a window containing a description of the
device being modeled.
System Group..., which allows you to manage the ATX Switch via SNMP
MIB_II. Refer to the Generic SNMP User's Guide for further information.
I/F Summary, which lets you view statistics (displayed both graphically and
numerically) for the traffic processed by each network interface on your ATX.
Bridge Status..., which opens a window that provides an overview of bridging
information for each port, and allows you to access all other bridge-related
options. Refer to the Bridging Chapter in the Tools Guide, for more
information.
Find Source Address..., which opens a window that allows you to search the
802.1d Filtering Database of the ATX Switch to determine which bridging
interface a specified MAC address is communicating through. If the MAC
address is detected as communicating through the switch, the port display will
flash to indicate the bridge interface of interest. This is described in
Find Source Address
Exit, which closes the ATX Switch Chassis View window.
Status allows you to select one of three status type displays: Bridge, Admin, or
Operator.
Load will display the portion of network load processed per polling interval
by each interface as a percentage of the theoretical maximum load (10 or 100
Mbits/sec).
Errors allows you to display the number of errors detected per polling interval
by each interface as a percentage of the total number of valid packets
processed by the interface.
I/F Mapping will display the interface (if) index associated with each port
your ATX switch.
I/F Speed will display the speed (10 or 100 Mbits/sec for Ethernet and Fast
Ethernet ports, 4 or 16 Mbits/sec for Token Ring ports) of the network segment
attached to each port. The speed of the network management port will be
displayed in Kbits/sec.
I/F Type will display the port type of each port in the ATX Chassis, e.g., Eth
(ethernet-csmacd), TR (token ring), or FDDI.
