In the text field, enter a valid MAC address in hexadecimal format, then click 

. If you enter an invalid address — that is, one not in hexadecimal 

xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx- format — an error window will appear indicating that the 
selected address is invalid.

If the selected MAC address is found in the 9H42x-xx module’s Filtering 
Database, the bridge interface through which the address is communicating will 
flash in the Module View display.

If the address is not found, a window will appear indicating that the address 
could not be found.

In addition to the performance and configuration information described in the 
preceding sections, the Module View also provides you with the tools you need to 
configure your module and keep it operating properly. Module management 
functions include configuring ports, setting the module date and time, and 
enabling and disabling ports.

The Configuration options available for standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet ports 
allow you to configure operating parameters specific to each port type: for 
standard Ethernet ports, you can set the Duplex Mode; for Fast Ethernet ports, 
you can set a variety of duplex mode and negotiation parameters. Both standard 
Ethernet and Fast Ethernet Port Configuration windows are available from the 
Module View Port menus and from the Bridge Status window Port menus. There 
is no Configuration option available for the backplane INB interface.
