The Device List The device list shows the devices contained within a device group.
Selecting a device group in the device group tree displays the devices
within the group in the device list.
Multiple selection is allowed in the device list and is achieved through
either of the following:
■ Holding down a mouse button and dragging over a selection of
devices in the list.
■ Clicking on different devices while holding down the CTRL or SHIFT
keyboard buttons.
Device List Columns The following columns are available in the device list:
■ Name — the name of the device, as specified in HP OpenView or the
CSV file.
■ IP Address — the IP Address of the device.
■ Device Type — the type of device, for example, Switch 4400, Switch
4900, Switch 4060.
■ Unit Count — the number of units in the device's stack or chassis.
Devices that are not stacked display '1' in this column. If there is no
unit information the column is left blank.
■ SNMP Read Community — the read community string that 3Com
Network Administrator is using to communicate with the device.
■ SNMP Write Community — the write community string that 3Com
Network Administrator is using to communicate with the device.
■ Subnet — the subnet mask of the device.
■ Contact — the contact name for the device, taken from the
sysContact MIB variable.
■ Location — the location name for the device, taken from the
sysLocation MIB variable.
When the application is run for the first time, only the default columns
(Name, IP Address, Device Type and Unit Count) are displayed.
Columns can be resized by dragging either edge of a column header to a
new position. Columns can be reordered by dragging a column header to
a new location. Any changes made are applied to all device groups.
