Device Report

With the Device Report page, you can:

• Generate device reports.
• Display learned addresses and port configuration information.
• Refresh device report information.
• Access Cisco Visual Switch Manager (CVSM).

Note: You must enable SNMP and set the read/write community string to "public" to generate reports.

Generating Device Reports

From the drop-down list, select one of the following reports:

• Config Information displays the switch name, description, location, contact name, IP address and mask, default gateway, domain name, and the state of Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) and Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP).
  Note: STP always reports the status of VLAN 1, even if you have designated a different management VLAN.
• System Information displays the system uptime, IOS software version, CVSM software version, image (configuration) filename, NVRAM buffer size, Flash memory space (total and available), address capacity, and bandwidth in use.
• Port Information displays a row of colored buttons that represent ports. You can click a port button to display the MAC address, port name, duplex mode, speed, and administrative status. The port color displays the port status; for example, a green port means the link is up, and a blue port means no link is present.

Displaying Learned Addresses and Port Configuration Information

You can display dynamically learned MAC addresses on a switch port. The switch learns the source address of each packet it receives on each port and adds the address and its port number to the address table. As stations are added or removed from the network, the switch updates the address table, adding new entries and aging (removing) those not in use.

To display the learned addresses for a selected port and other port configuration information:

1. From the drop-down list, select Port Information.
2. Click one of the port buttons on the page.
   If you click a green port button, port configuration information is displayed in the fields on the page.
3. Click List Learned Addresses.
   The list box fills with MAC addresses that were learned by the switch.

Refreshing Device Report Information

To refresh device report information, click Device Report.

Note: You can also refresh the device report information from the network view. Click the right mouse button on a switch and select Device Report from the pop-up menu.

Accessing Cisco Visual Switch Manager

You can reconfigure the switch from CVSM. Click Switch Manager to display the Cisco Visual Switch Manager Home page in a separate browser window.

Note: If you access CVSM to configure a stack member and then relaunch the network view, this stack member becomes the primary switch. The network view displays devices in a different arrangement (a stack member could become an edge device) than if the browser is pointed at the original center node of the star topology.
