Figure 15: Device Properties window
The Device Properties window displays a set of tabs at the top of the window, depending on the type
and configuration of the device. The following tabs may appear:
●
Device
●
Network Clients
●
Syslog Messages
Each tab displays the name of the device and a status “light” which shows the status of the device as
detected by the Ridgeline software. For details about the information displayed on these tabs, see the
Ridgeline Reference Guide or the online Help.
Opening a Telnet Session to a Device
You can open a Telnet session on an individual device, and execute commands just as you would from a
standard Telnet interface. You can optionally record the commands and output from a Telnet session
and save the results to a file.
For Extreme Networks devices, Ridgeline will automatically log into the switch based on the device
login name and contact password configured for the device in the Add Device window. For third-party
devices, you will need to provide the login and password interactively.
To open a Telnet session to a device, click on the device’s row in the Devices table (or select it in the
Map View, if available), then select
Telnet into from the Device menu. A Ridgeline Telnet window is
opened, and a Telnet session to the device is started, as shown in Figure 16 .
