A basic description of Product Control tabs:

Tab

Description

Configuration Summary

This tab interrogates the connected product and
ascertains information regarding the current
configuration for Port Names, Port Speeds (both
configured and current), Port Media (Fiber or
Copper), Port Assignments (Network or Monitor),
Aggregation Settings, and Filter Settings

Port Configuration

This tab allows both readback and set capabilities
of:

Port Names (Maximum of 16 characters)

Port Speeds (10/100/1000 Mbits/sec)

Port Media (Fiber or Copper)

Port Assignment (Network or Monitor)

Depending on the product type, some values may
not be adjustable.

Aggregation Configuration

— Colors: —

Red: Pass None

Green: Pass All

Blue: Filter Applied

Purple: Rule Change until

readback shifts to
red, green or blue.

This tab allows both readback and set capabilities.
The tree view presented may correspond to ingress
or egress focused operation. In the case of ingress
focused orientation, the top level node received
data is copied/routed to each of the selected
subordinate nodes. In the case of egress focused
orientation, each of the selected subordinate nodes
received data is copied/routed to the top level
node. 

Filter Configuration

This tab allows for configuration of filters for either
the FSS or FVS product lines. Depending upon the
model, different filters will become available for
configuration. 

Event Log

This tab is used for read only status of the events
seen by the product. The Event Log can be reset
from this element, but no specific events may be
written through this module.

7.2.4.1.1  Configuration Summary

The Configuration Summary tab provides a view into the connected product.
Clicking 

 

updates the displayed information. 

 allows for the

selective resetting of various counters within the Filter Engine. 

By expanding the Configuration Summary treeview, the user can review the
properties of Network and/or Monitor ports.
