Ports
The Ports summary portlet displays discovered device ports. Note that in this context a "Port" is a
type of subcomponent that is essentially a physical interface of the device. The Interfaces portlet is
tied to a different distinct but related type of subcomponent that some device vendors might call a
"sub-interface" or a "logical interface.”
This displays a list of ports, with columns for
Port Icon, Equipment Name, Name, Type
and
Encapsulation
.
Hover the cursor over the
State
column, and a popup appears to display the port’s
Name
,
Typ e
and
Operational State
information. Right-clicking offers a subset of the actions listed
in
Resource Editor
on page 186
.
You can also create links. See
Links
on page 189.
If the Ports summary portlet appears on the same page as the Managed Resources portlet, then a
selection made in Managed Resources makes the Ports portlet display only ports for the selected
resource. This “filter” through Managed Resources disables filters configured through the settings
menu. See
Understanding Hierarchical View
on page 253 for more about this feature.
The Port Details portlets display all the port’s settings that have been retrieved, including a
Reference Tree of logical interfaces below the port, a Learned MAC Address panel, Alarms related
to the port, and other Detail.
