2-8 Viewing Chassis Information
• Name... , which allows you to assign a name to the selected board; this name
will be displayed in many board-level windows. See Setting a Board Name ,
page 2-17 , for details.
• Enable , which allows you to enable all ports on the selected board; see
Enabling Boards , page 2-17 .
The Port Menus
For Ethernet MIM ports, menu selections will include Statistics, Timer Statistics,
Performance Graph
, and Alarm Limits (the same options provided on the
repeater and board menus); Enable and Disable at the port level; and an
additional port-specific selection:
• Source Addressing... , which displays the current source address table for each
port. See Chapter 4, Source Address Functions, for more information.
The IRM2 Module itself (Board 1) has one additional port-related option:
• Port Association... , which lets you select which of its two front panel ports —
AUI or Fiber Optic —þwill be used as the repeater interface for a connected

MIM Port Status Displays
When you open the Chassis View window, each port on the IRM2 and the
associated MIMs installed in the hub will display its Admin/Link status (defined
below); to change this status display, select one of the options on the Port Status
menu, as described in the following sections.
Selecting a Port Status View
To change the status view of your ports:
1. Click on Port Status on the menu bar at the top of the Chassis View window;
a menu will appear.
2. Drag down (and to the right, if necessary) to select the status information you
want to display. The port text boxes will display the appropriate status
information.
Port status view options are:
Load
If you choose Load, the port text boxes will display the percentage of network
load processed by each port during the last polling interval. This percentage
reflects the network load generated by devices connected to the port compared to
the theoretical maximum load (10 Mbits/sec) of an Ethernet network.
