This button allows you to access the Flash DownLoad View. This button is 
available only in the IRM3, MRXI, and MiniMMAC Configuration Views.

This button allows you to access an additional configuration view, which is 
described later in this chapter. This button is available only in the IRM2 and 
IRM3 Configuration Views.

This button allows you to access the Community and Trap Table View, which 
is described later in this chapter. This button is available only in the IRM2 
and IRM3 Configuration Views.

Source Address View

You can access the Source Address View by clicking on the Find Source 
Address button in the Configuration View. This view gives you the ability to 
trace a MAC address to the board and port where the address is detected, and 
provides the following information. This view is not available for IRM or the 
MRXI hubs.

Model Name
The user-defined or default name of the model.

Network Address
The network IP address (e.g., 132.177.118.24).

Source Address
User-defined MAC address using the format xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.

This button allows you to access the Source Address Board/Port Location 
View. Figure 4-1 provides the information contained in the view.
