Working With Object Management Windows
The following sections provide helpful information in regards to launching and using the windows
provided in Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager.
Launching Object Management Windows
After all the objects in the network element are in the normal state, windows can be opened to perform
management operations on the network element.
To launch the management window of a Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager object, right click its parent
object in the Map Viewer application or the object itself in the containment view. Select the option to
open the object’s window from the pop-up menu. For descriptions of the object hierarchies, refer to the
Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager Objects and Interfaces section in Chapter 2, “Basic Concepts.”
Tips for Working with Object Management Windows
•
Perform management functions on multiple objects within the chassis
Although you cannot launch windows when multiple objects are selected, you can select multiple
objects within the list boxes which appear on the left–hand side of most object management
windows simultaneously in order to invoke system actions such as configuration or performance
logging.
To select a contiguous block of objects, click on the first object; then, without releasing the mouse
button, drag to the last desired entry and release. A subsequent click anywhere on the window
deselects all previous selections. To extend a currently selected block of chassis, press the Shift key
and click on the entry at the end of the group to be added. To add a non–contiguous entry to the
selection group, hold down the Ctrl (Control) key and click on the entry to be added.
When selecting multiple entries in a parenting object list box, for example multiple modules on an
interface–level window, all applicable interface objects of the selected modules appear in the
Interfaces list. The attributes of last object selected in a list box on the left–hand side of a window
display in the tabs and areas to the right.
Note that some windows do not support the multiple select feature when unique data entry is
required or when system impacts can occur.
• Bring open windows to the front of the display from the Window menu
Handy when you have several windows open at one time, you can use the Window menu on an open
window to bring another open window to the front of the display (i.e., in–front of the other open
windows) no matter how many windows are covering it.
• Initiate window navigation from a list box on the left–hand side of an open window
Rather than right–clicking on an object within the Map Viewer, you can right–click objects that
display in the list boxes which appear on the left–hand side of the object management windows.
• Active versus Inactive attributes on object management windows
Although all fields available on each EM window are described in this guide, some fields may appear
in faded gray text rather than black text. Active attributes appear in black text and allow text
insertion or selection. Fields or buttons which appear in gray text are inactive. Inactive parameters
are not currently supported by the Cisco Catalyst Switch Manager, but the associated data may be
set or viewed through the related IOS CLI commands.
