The Explorer View pane lists the objects that can be viewed, analyzed, tested, or configured
by BACS. When an item is selected in the Explorer View pane, the tabs showing the
information and options that are available for the item appear in the Context View pane.
The organization of this panel is designed to present the manageable objects in the same
hierarchical manner as drivers and its subcomponents. This simplifies the management of
various elements of the network interface controller (NIC). The top level of the hierarchy is
the Host container, which lists all hosts managed by BACS. Below the hosts are the installed
network adapters, with the manageable elements, such as physical port, VBD, and NDIS
below the adapters.
The icon next to each device in the Explorer View pane shows its status. An icon next to a
device name that appears normal means the device is connected and working.
X.
A red "X" that appears on the device's icon indicates the device is currently not
connected to the network.
Greyed out.
A device icon that appears greyed out indicates the device is currently
disabled.
Context View Selector
The Context View selector appears below the menu bar and includes the filter and tab
categories. Although you can expand and collapse the categories that appear on tabs in the
Context View pane, you can alternatively display a category by selecting the box next to the
category name.
Filter View
In a multiple-host environment using several network adapters, there can be a large number
of manageable elements per adapter that can be difficult and cumbersome to view, configure,
and manage all elements. Use the filter to select a particular device function. Possible filter
views include:
All
Team view
NDIS view
iSCSI view
FCoE view
