1. Product overview
Target device name displays
When a switch is added, the target device names retrieved from the switch are
stored in the software database. The operator can then rename a target device in
the Explorer. The new name is stored in the database and used in various
component screens. This new target device name is not communicated to the
switch.
Since the software is a decentralized management system, you can change the
name assigned to a target device on the switch at any time without updating the
software database. Each operator can customize a particular view of the list of
target devices being managed.
Since you can associate more than one name with a single target device - one on
the switch and one in the software - the software uses the following rules to
determine which name is used:
• The Explorer only shows the target devices listed in its database, with the
name specified in the database. In other words, the Explorer does not talk to
the switch to obtain target device information.
• The Resync Wizard overwrites locally-defined target device names only if the
switch target device name has been changed from the default value. Non-
default target device names that are read from the switch during a
resynchronization override the locally-defined names.
Sorting
In certain displays, the software component displays a list of items with columns
of information about each item. If a column header contains an arrow, you can
sort the list by that column in ascending or descending order.
To sort a display by a column header, click the arrow in a column header. The
items in the list are sorted according to that column. An upward-pointing arrow
indicates the list is sorted by that column header in ascending order. A
downward-pointing arrow indicates the list is sorted by that column header in
descending order.
IPv4 and IPv6 network address capabilities
The KVM s4 client software is compatible with systems using either of the
currently supported Internet Protocol Versions, IPv4 (default) or IPv6. For KVM s4
switches, you can change the network settings and select IPv4 and IPv6 mode
simultaneously.
