The main Inventory Manager page displays information about the switches managed by
the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager. When you select Switches in the Component
Tree, the panel on the right shows the All Summit Devices page (a summary of the
information known about the switches).
• The status “lights” show the status of the switch as detected by the ExtremeWare
Enterprise Manager:
• The name and type of switch are detected by the ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager.
• The IP address and read/write community strings are those entered into the
ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager database when the switch is added using the Add
command. These are used by the Enterprise Manger to access the switch and obtain
the additional status information about the switch.
Select a switch in the Component Tree on the left to display detailed configuration and
status information, as shown in Figure 5-2. This display shows additional information
that the Enterprise Manager has gathered from the switch agent.
Table 5-1:
Inventory Manager Switch Status Indicators
Status Light /Switch Status
Green Switch is up and OK
Yellow Switch is responding, but reports an error condition such as a fan or
power supply failure, or excessive temperature
Red Switch is not responding to Enterprise Manager status queries. This
may mean that the device is down, that it is unreachable on the
network, or that the SNMP community strings have changed and the
ExtremeWare Enterprise Manager can no longer contact the switch.
