switch status in the display, do one of the following:
■ Choose the Refresh button.
■ Open the View menu and select Refresh.
■ Press the F5 key.
■ Right-click a switch in the topology display and select Refresh Switch from
the popup menu.
■ Right-click in the graphic window of the faceplate display, and select
Refresh Switch from the popup menu.
