Understanding the Device View

The Device View is a Java applet that shows various information about
switch. This graphic appears on the OpenManage Switch Administrator
Home page, which is the page that displays after a successful login. The
graphic provides information about switch ports and system health.

Using the Device View Port Features

The switching-port coloring indicates if a port is currently active. Green
indicates that the port has a link, red indicates that an error has occurred on
the port, and blue indicates that the link is down. Each port image is a
hyperlink to the Port Configuration page for the specific port.

Using the Device View Switch Locator Feature

The Device View graphic includes a Locate button and a drop-down menu of
timer settings. When you click Locate, the switch locator LED on the back
panel of the switch blinks for the number of seconds selected from the timer
menu. The green, blinking LED on the back of the switch can help you or a
technician near the switch identify the physical location of the switch within
a room or rack full of switches. After you click the Locate button it turns
green and remains green while the LED is blinking. For more information
about the locator LED, see "Locator LED" on page 90.
NOTE:
You can also issue the locate command from the CLI to enable the locator
LED.
