Chapter 6. Port Access

The Port Selection Sidebar
All switches and their ports – including cascaded switches and their ports – are
listed in a tree structure in the Sidebar at the left of the screen:
The Port Selection Tree
Users are only allowed to see the switches and ports that they have access
permission for.
Ports and child switches can be nested under their parent switches. Click
the + in front of a switch to expand the tree and see the ports nested
underneath it. Click the - to collapse the tree and hide the nested ports.
A port’s ID number is displayed in brackets next to the port icon. For
convenience the ports can be named (see Port Naming, page 88, for
details).
Switches and ports that are on line have their monitor screen icons lit
green; the monitor screens are gray for devices and ports that are offline.
To access a port, double click its icon. Port operation details are discussed
in Chapter 11, Port Operation.
