• Managed Object Properties - The base properties of the interface, including the IP address and netmask if it is part of a
VLAN.
• Delete Object and Traces - This will delete the VLAN IF and all its sub-elements, so there is a confirmation window.
• Manage/UnManage - The interface will (or will no longer) be polled by the AlliedView NMS. The color of the row icon
turns to gray.
• Update Status - The AlliedView NMS polls the device for its status.
6.2.6 Physical Links Inventory Table
For any physical link that is created from the Physical Network map or already exists, there is a row in this table.
Like all inventory panels, it can be sorted by column (by clicking column heading), and the number of rows listed can be
controlled. Also, the entire table or selected rows can be exported to an external file or to your Web browser
Figure 6-8 shows the Network Inventory Table for VLAN Interfaces, while Table 6-3 describes the columns.
