EFDMIM Device View
EFDMIM Device View
The EFDMIM is displayed in the Device View for a Cabletron hub. The hub
Device View shows an actual representation of the hub with an EFDMIM
installed in one of the slots. If the configuration changes (e.g., if an EFDMIM
board is pulled or added to the hub), you see the corresponding change within
this view. This change in the view occurs after the model’s next poll cycle.
This view represents the physical status of the EFDMIM installed in a
Cabletron hub chassis and provides menu access to the EFDMIM generic
views. These generic views allow you to access network configuration
information, as well as traffic flow and error data for your EFDMIM.
Depending on the type of Cabletron hub containing the EFDMIM, the Device
View appears slightly different. The Cabletron hub categories are as follows:
• IRM2, IRBM, or IRM3
• IRM
The Device View periodically polls the hub model in the SpectroSERVER
database to determine if any configuration changes have occurred. If a
configuration change has occurred, the Device View changes as well to match
the model in the SpectroSERVER database.
Accessing the Hub Logical/Physical Device View
You can access the Hub Logical or Physical Device View using one of the
following methods (refer to Figure 2-4):
• Double-click on the Device View button of the hub icon. This opens the last
device view accessed.
• Highlight the hub icon and select Device -> Logical or
Device -> Physical from the Icon Subviews menu.
