if three links are selected, one of which is an aggregated link, and the
Properties dialog box is launched then the General, Ports, VLANs and
Monitoring tabs will be displayed; if a node were added to the selection
prior to launching the Properties dialog box then the General and Security
tabs would be displayed.
If, for any tab, it is not possible to display information common to the
whole selection, the tab shows explanatory text, as shown in Figure 112
.

Where possible, 3Com Network Director displays the original layout for
each tab.
If the information for a field within a tab is the same for all selected items,
that information is displayed. If the information differs between the
items, the information shows multiple values.
For example, Figure 113
shows a section of the General tab for two
devices of the same type (3Com SuperStack 3 Switch 4226T). The Type
and Product Number are the same for both devices, so the actual value is
displayed for both the Type and Product Number fields. However, the
Serial Number is different for the two devices, so the value for Serial
Number shows multiple values.
