Add Container
Parent Container
When a container is created, it will always be inside another container. In other words, the newly created con-
tainer is a child of the parent container. The Parent Container menu is where you choose the parent container
of the newly created container.
Note
If a container is being added from the right-click menu, this option
will be disabled.
Display Name
This is the node name displayed on the management tree view.
Figure 40. Container types
Type
There are two types of containers available for use (see
figure 40
): normal containers, which are capable of
holding nodes as well as other containers, and chassis containers. Chassis containers are only assigned to Fore-
Front chassis because they can control the optional Model 6103 alarm card installed in a ForeFront chassis.
Choose Icon
This button allows the user to select an image to display along with the name on the tree. It can be in either
GIF or JPEG format and of any size (16 high x 16 wide or 32 high x 32 wide pixel size is recommended).
Note
The image will not be resized, so large or odd-sized images should be
avoided. The type specific icon for a container cannot be changed; it
is always a folder icon with a colored background. Also, if the tool is
using type specific icons this option will be disabled.
