Viewing Device Information

2-23

The Device View

ON (Green)

The backplane interface is operational (up) and 
administratively enabled. Link status is linked, or not 
applicable to the interface.

ON (Yellow)

The backplane interface is operational (up) and 
administratively enabled; however, the interface link status is 
Not Linked (NLK).

OFF (Blue)

The interface is not operational, and prior to going down it was 
also administratively disabled.

OFF (Red)

The interface is not operational, but prior to going down it was 
in an administratively enabled state.

TEST (Magenta)

The interface is in some test operational state.

--- (Gray)

The backplane interface is that associated with the slot in 
which the currently monitored SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 
module is installed.

You can enable or disable a backplane interface as follows:

1.

With the display form in Bridge mode, click on the backplane interface which 
you wish to enable or disable. A menu will appear.

2.

Select Enable or Disable, as desired.

Like most networking devices, Cabletron and Enterasys devices draw their functionality 
from a collection of proprietary MIBs and IETF RFCs. In addition, certain Enterasys 
intelligent devices — like the SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module — organize their 
MIB data into a series of “components.” A MIB component is a logical grouping of MIB 
data, and each group controls a defined set of objects. For example, SmartSwitch 6000 or 
Matrix E7 module bridging information is organized into its own component; Local 
Management (LIM) and RMON are also contained in separate components. Note, too, that 
there is no one-to-one correspondence between MIBs and MIB components; a single MIB 
component might contain objects from several different proprietary MIBs and RFCs.

The Chassis Manager window, 

, is a read-only window that displays the MIBs 

and the MIB components — and, therefore, the functionality — supported by the currently 
monitored device.
