Organizing Ethernet Addresses
As a means of organizing device Ethernet addresses, the Application View
includes a field for creating a file to store specific device addresses. As the
LANtern or LANtern NMM monitors devices on a network segment and adds
their addresses to a table, the tables can become extremely lengthy. By
default, the first 500 addresses in any table are displayed. The address
filename feature allows the user to specify a file to contain a shorter table with
only the Ethernet addresses of particular devices that the user wants to
monitor. To create a device address file, follow these steps:
1. Create an ASCII file using a UNIX text editor.
2. Enter the Ethernet addresses of the devices you want to monitor.
3. Navigate to the LANtern or LANtern NMM Application View.
4. Select Update from the File menu.
5. Enter the ASCII filename and its complete path in the File Name field.
6. Select Close/Update from the File menu.
7. Click OK at the Save Updated Information? prompt.
Columns that have been sorted will remain sorted as the table is updated.
This file is used by default when selecting that particular Application View
table.
The Instance Count
You can specify the default number of Ethernet addresses displayed in a table
by changing the value in the Instance_Count field, as follows:
1. Select Update from the File menu.
2. Enter the number of Ethernet addresses you want to display.
The Instance_Count field initially reads zero, which is the default table
display setting of 500.
3. Select Close/Update from the File menu.
4. Click OK at the Save Updated Information? prompt.
Organizing Application View Tables
Application View tables provide scroll bars which allow the user to move
anywhere in the table and provide the following organizational functions:
