The Chassis Physical View
By default, the Chassis View window displays the Logical View of the
SmartSwitch 2000 device. The Logical View provides port status information and
access to device-, module-, and port-level menus, as described above. In addition
to the default Logical View, however, the View menu available via the menu bar
at the top of the Chassis View window allows you to display a Physical View of
the device. The Physical View of the device provides a look at the actual face of
the device. While the Physical View does not provide any port status information
or access to device- or port-level menus, it serves as a useful tool for network
managers who are physically remote from the SmartSwitch 2000 device they are
managing and who need to see the arrangement of ports on the device face and
the connector types supported.
To access the Physical View:
1. In the Chassis View window, click on View in the menu bar to access the View
menu.
2. Select Physical. The Chassis Physical View, Figure 2-3, will appear.
