Device View
What is in this Chapter
This chapter provides a description of the two types of Device View for the
TRBMIM Management Module Ñ the Logical and Physical Device Views. The
discussion also includes an explanation of how to use each of these views.
The Device View for the TRBMIM lets you view the logical representations of
the TRBMIM device and ports.The Device View also lets you access various
menus leading to views that monitor and control the TRBMIM and its
ports.You can access the Device View by clicking on the Device View button
icon on the selected TRBMIM model, by selecting the applicable View > Icon
Subviews > Device options from the menu bar, or by clicking the right
mouse button on the TRBMIM model icon to activate the Icon Subviews
menu and then selecting the desired option.
Device View ConÞguration
The Device View gives an actual dynamic representation of the current
TRBMIM conÞguration used in your system. If the conÞguration changes, you
see the corresponding change in this view, updated with the next-following
polling cycle. Four different Device Views are available, depending both on
whether you select a logical or physical view and on whether the TRBMIM
module was set for Bridging-Only mode or for Bridging-and-Management
mode when last booted.
The mode is controlled by Þrmware selected by the position 2 switch (S2) in
hardware switch Bank 1 (SW1) on the TRBMIM card. In the ON (up) position,
this switch selects Bridging-Only mode; in the OFF (down) position, the
switch selects Bridging-and-Management mode. Figure 2-1 on page 2-4
illustrates a Physical Device View when the module has been set for Bridging-
