Click on the Find It! button. A “Processing Request” message will appear in 
the status bar at the bottom of the window. 
If the specified MAC address is located, a list of the interface(s) through which the given 
address is communicating will appear in the list box. A status message at the bottom of the 
window will display
 
the number of interfaces through which the given MAC address is 
communicating.
If the specified MAC address cannot be found, a “Source Address not found” message 
will appear.
Managing the Module
In addition to the performance and configuration information described in the preceding 
sections, the Device View also provides you with the tools you need to configure your 
SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module and keep it operating properly. Hub management 
functions include setting operating parameters for Ethernet, FDDI, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit 
Ethernet and COM ports; managing an attached UPS; redirecting traffic from one module 
interface to another; setting port priority parameters; configuring transmission thresholds 
for broadcast packets; viewing and configuring system resources; setting device date and 
time; and enabling and disabling bridging at specific port interfaces.
Configuring Ports
The Configuration options available for FDDI, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet 
and COM ports allow you to configure operating parameters specific to each port type: for 
FDDI and standard Ethernet ports, you can set the Duplex Mode; for Fast Ethernet ports 
on first generation modules, you can set a variety of duplex mode and negotiation 
parameters; for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet ports on second generation modules 
you can set speed, duplex mode, and flow control parameters; and for COM ports, you can 
select the operation you wish the port to perform, and set any associated speed parameters. 
FDDI, Ethernet, Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet Port Configuration windows are 
NOTE
If you enter the MAC format of a specified address, and then click on Canonical, NetSight 
Element Manager will do the address conversion for you. The same is also true if you 
enter the Canonical format of a specified address and then select MAC.
NOTE
If the MAC address is entered in an incorrect format, an “Invalid MAC Address. 
Enter Valid MAC Address
” message will appear. Enter the address in the correct
XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX hexadecimal format.
