C H A P T E R 2 Intel Device View
After a Switch or Stack is Contacted
Commands When Intel Device View contacts a switch, the basic commands are
supplemented with:
• Local Management access — provides Telnet access to monitor-
ing functions embedded in the switch.
• RMON facility — gathers information about the network traffic,
monitors traffic on subnets and enables you to define alarms on
the individual ports.
• Stack Synchronization Manager (for stacks only) — enables you
to establish a stack from a group of switches connected via a
Matrix Module, or add a switch to an existing stack and then syn-
chronize their configurations.
• Switch Position Organizer (for stacks only) — enables you to
move the switches displayed on screen around in the stack.
• Color Code Matrix Ports (for stacks only) — colors the individ-
ual ports on the Matrix Module. This simplifies the task of trac-
ing cables, as the ports on the Stack Interface Modules become
the same color as the corresponding Matrix Module port.
• A color coding chart for Intel Device View to show the states of
switch’s LEDs
