The SmartSwitch 7000 Chassis View

The Board menu for the 7X00 Control Module (always installed in slot 1) provides 
mostly bridging-related selections, many of which are also available from the 
Bridge Status window:

¥

, which allows you to set bridge parameters when it is 

operating using the Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) Ð the method that bridges 
use to decide the controlling (root) bridge when two or more bridges are in 
parallel. See the bridging chapter of your Tools Guide for more information.

¥

, which enables or disables bridging across every 

interface installed in the SmartSwitch 7000 chassis.

¥

, which brings up a window containing a description of the 

selected board; see Viewing Hardware Types, 

¥

, which visually displays the combined performance of 

all bridging interfaces installed in the SmartSwitch 7000 hub; see the bridging 
chapter of your Tools Guide.

Board menus for other NIMs displayed in the Chassis View window provide only 
the Module Type selection.

Each port menu offers the following selections:

¥

, which brings up windows that visually display 

bridging performance at the selected interface; see the bridging chapter of 
your Tools Guide for details.

¥

which allows you to view the MAC addresses that are 

communicating through a selected bridge interface; see the bridging chapter 
of your Tools Guide for details.

¥

, which graphically displays color-coded statistical information 

for each bridge interface; see the bridging chapter of the Tools Guide for 
details.

¥

, which launches the conÞguration window appropriate to the 

selected port: for standard Ethernet and FDDI ports, the conÞguration 
window allows you to set the Duplex Mode; for Fast Ethernet ports, it allows 
you to conÞgure a number of different options, including auto-negotiation. See 
ConÞguring Ports

; note that there is no ConÞguration currently 

available for ATM ports.

¥

, which launches the RMON-based Basic and 

Advanced Alarm applications; see Chapter 4, Alarm ConÞguration, for 
details. Note that this selection is available for all bridge port interfaces Ñ even 
those (like FDDI and ATM) that do not speciÞcally support RMON 
functionality Ñ as long as at least one Ethernet or Fast Ethernet NIM is 
installed in the chassis.
