Switch Community View
Figure 2-3 shows an example of the Switch Community view. Access the
Switch Community view from the double-click zone shown in Figure 2-1. This
view displays the connections between domains and ports within a switch
community. All the switches connected together are called a “community.” At
the top of this view is a board that represents the Switch Community with
“ports” that represent the domains (or VLANs ). Below this are the Logical
Module icons representing each of the switches in the community that are
modeled in SPECTRUM. The Master is the first switch. If the Master is not
modeled, then this view will only show the domains that the switch is in and
the Logical Module icon for the switch from which the view was accessed. The
view will update if a switch or VLAN is added or removed from the
community.
Clicking a port number highlights the domain number of the domain icon
containing that port. Clicking the domain number on a domain icon highlights
the port number of all the ports in the domain. Clicking the domain number
again unhighlights all the ports and the domain icon.
In addition to the capabilities described above, the port and module icons
provide the same information described under Logical Module Icon.
Port to MAC Opens the Port to MAC view, discussed in Chapter 6,
Application View.
Enable/Disable Port Opens the Enable/Disable Port view, described below.

NOTE
The trunk port is not part of the domain: it connects the switches within the
LAN. Trunk port icons look the same as port icons in the Switch Community
View, except a trunk port icon has a violet background behind its number.
