Page Layout

The Port Access page is organized into several main areas:
 All the ports that a user is permitted to access are listed in the Port
Selection Sidebar at the left of the page.
 At the bottom of the Sidebar, there is a Show button that gives users
control over which of their ports appear in the tree
 The main panel provides a detailed listing of each port, as well as a means
of accessing the ports.

The Port Selection Sidebar

All switches and their ports that a user is allowed to access – including
cascaded switches and their ports – are listed in a tree structure in the Sidebar
at the left of the screen:

The Port Selection Tree

 Users are only allowed to see the switches and ports that they have access
rights for.
 Ports and child switches may be nested under their parent switches. Click
the + in front of a switch to expand the tree and see the nested ports. Click
the - to collapse the tree and hide the nested ports.
 A port's ID number is displayed in brackets next to the port icon. For

page 123 for details).
 Switches and ports that are on line have their monitor screen icons lit
green; the monitor screens are gray for devices and ports that are offline.
 To access a port, double click its icon. Port operation details are discussed
in Chapter 9, Console Port Operation.
 When you right click on a port in the Console UI tree, a small box pops up
offering a choice to open a KVM session to the port, or to mount a virtual
device on it. Double click KVM to open the KVM session to the server
connected to the port; double click VM Mount to mount a virtual device
connected to the console module's USB port on the server connected to the
