View to display the Module menu.

MIB I, II
The MIB I, II tool — which gives you direct access to the MIB II information stored 
in your 7C0x’s MIB — is also available from within the Hub View. To launch it:
1.
If necessary, put the Hub View into the Interface Application Display mode 
(click either mouse button on the Module Index or Module Type box to display 
the Module menu, drag down to Application Display, then across to select 
Interface).

Click either mouse button on the Display Mode box in the Hub View to launch 
the Interface menu; drag down to MIB II, and release.

Find MAC Address
The newest member of the family of SPMA Tool applications, the Global Find 
MAC Address tool gives you the ability to locate the hub interface through which 
a specific MAC address is communicating. If you are running SPMA from within 
a network management platform (HP Network Node Manager, IBM NetView, or 
SunNet Manager), launching this tool from the platform’s Console window Tools 
TIP
One tool available for the 7C0x SmartSwitch but not accessible from within the Hub View 
is the Telnet application; this application provides remote access to Local Management, 
from which you can perform many basic configuration options — including selecting 
either SecureFast switching or traditional bridging. 
For more information about the Telnet application, see Chapter 4 of the SPMA Tools 
Guide
; for more information about Local Management and the configuration options 
available there, consult the Local Management documentation shipped with your device.
