The IRM2 Chassis View
Front Panel Information
The areas outside the main MIM display area provide the following device
information:
IP
The Internet Protocol address assigned to the IRM2; this field will display the IP
address you have used to create the IRM2 icon. IP addresses are assigned via
Local Management.
Port Locking/Unlocking
The port locked and unlocked symbols indicate whether port locking is enabled
or disabled, respectively. See Chapter 4, Source Address Functions, for further
information.
Connection Status
This color-coded area indicates the current state of communication between
NetSight Element Manager and the IRM2.
• Green indicates the IRM2 is responding to device polls (valid connection).
• Magenta indicates that the IRM2 is in a temporary stand-by mode while it
responds to a physical change in the hub (a board is inserted or removed); note
that board and port menus are inactive during this stand-by state.
• Blue indicates an unknown contact status — polling has not yet been
established with the IRM2.
• Red indicates the IRM2 is not responding to device polls (device is off line, or
device polling has failed across the network for some other reason).
UpTime
The amount of time, in a days hh:mm:ss format, that the IRM2 has been running
since the last start-up.
Port Status
If management for your device supports a variable port display (detailed in Port
Status Displays
later in this chapter), this field will show the display currently in
effect. If only a single port display is available--or if the default view is in
effect--this field will state Default.
NOTE
Note that up to 24 ports can be displayed simultaneously on a module. If a module has a
higher port density than 24 ports, Up and Down arrows will appear at the top and bottom
of the port stack so that you can scroll through the remaining ports.
