Specifications

IP address
The device's IP address. Note that chassis that support Distributed Forwarding Engines (DFEs), such
as the Matrix N−Series, display a single management IP even though there may be multiple DFE
modules in the chassis.
Name
Displays the device display name (IP address, System Name, or Nickname) as configured in the
Options window, followed by the SNMP context, if applicable. Entries in this column are displayed in
italics to represent that the information may be "stale". Clicking the Refresh button changes the
entries to bold, indicating that the information is current for a minute when you first display the view.
Changing any other device information (including acknowledging an Alert icon) also changes the
entry to bold.
Last Status
The device's last known connection status (Contact or No Contact) and, therefore, its ability to
respond to SNMP requests. The status is updated when you right−click the device group folder and
select Refresh (Rediscover) from the menu, or click the Refresh button.
Uptime
The amount of time, in a days hh:mm:ss format, that the device has been running since the last
start−up.
Firmware Version
Shows the current firmware version installed in the device.
FW Reference
A indicates that the current firmware version installed in the device matches the firmware
reference image set for this device's binary family. (See How to Set a Reference Image.) This column
allows you to easily identify devices that need to be upgraded to the reference image.
NOTE: In order to provide this information, Inventory Manager compares the name and
version number of the reference image file to the current firmware on the device.
The version number must be available from the reference image file and the
current firmware on the device must have been installed at some point via an
Inventory Manager Firmware Upgrade Wizard operation that included a device
reset. Otherwise, this column may be blank even though the firmware version
installed on the device may actually match the reference image. If the version
number is not available from an image file, you can manually set the version
number in the Firmware Image General Tab.
Boot PROM Version
Shows the current version of Boot PROM installed in the device.
BP Reference
A indicates that the current Boot PROM version installed in the device matches the Boot PROM
reference image set for this device's binary family. (See How to Set a Reference Image.) This column
allows you to easily identify devices that need to be upgraded to the reference image.
NOTE: In order to provide this information, Inventory Manager compares the name and version
number of the reference image file to the current boot PROM on the device. The version
number must be available from the reference image file and the current boot PROM on
