These views are accessed using the tree structure. Click on a tree structure to display either a map view (device icons shown) or a list view (rows of devices) of the devices to be displayed. These views provide the ability to check the status of a device, and they also provide the ability to configure a device.
The following table provides guidance on when to use which view.
Device Views | Preferred Use |
|---|---|
Network | View all devices on a given network. |
Groups | View all devices that share a given group name. |
Inventory | View all discovered devices. |
General configuration of a device is done using the Device Properties window. To access the Device Properties window, double-click on a device in a map view, or right-click on a device and select Properties.
- The Identity tab provides identification information and general status for a device.
- The Configuration & Status tab is unique for each device type, and provides the ability to configure device parameters. Changes that can be made using SNMP are sent immediately to the device. Other changes may require a BOOTP operation to propagate to the device.
- The Administration tab provides access to management operations, such as BOOTP, and shows network configuration of a device.
Global operations can be performed at a group level or device type level. These operations include setting the BOOTP state, rebooting, and setting the trap receiver address. The Global Operations screen can be accessed by selecting on the SDM.
