About Closeup Views
HP Hub & Switch Management provides direct access to HP hub, bridge, and
switch management for devices that are not manageable with a Web browser
through graphical control panels, or Closeup Views. If you have switching
hubs, you can also use the Closeup View to create and modify segments in
your network.
A Closeup View is an interactive, visual display of a device. You can use the
Closeup View to obtain device status, and run Hub & Switch Management
command functions through push-button icons and menus. There is a Closeup
View for most HP managed devices.
There will be differences in the available function icons depending on the
device type. Icons for functions that are not available for some devices will
either not be selectable (grayed out) or will not appear. Also, menu options
launched from icons that are not available for some devices either will not
appear, or if they appear, they will not be selectable. For information on device
management functions for any particular device, refer to the online help in the
Closeup View.
For HP AdvanceStack hubs, Closeup Views are available for managing all hubs
on a Distributed Management Chain. Closeup Views for chained hubs that are
without SNMP modules are accessed through the appropriate SNMP-based
hub’s Closeup View. Functions that are not available for chained hubs will not
be selectable.
