Printing Reports from the CWSI Network Map

You can generate reports about the devices and links in your network. You can also print reports about discrepancies or inconsistencies in your network.

Printing the Network Map

You can print the entire network map, or just a portion of it.

To print the complete map, including portions that are not visible on your screen, take the following steps:

Step 1 From the CWSI Map window, select File>Print All.

The Print window for your system opens.

Step 2 Click OK to print the network map.

Printing a Report

To print a report, take the following steps:

Step 1 Select a device or a group of devices in the CWSI Map window.

Step 2 From the CWSI Map window, select Reports followed by the name of the report you want to display. For example, to display the Link Attributes report, select Reports>Link Attributes.

Step 3 The specified report is displayed.

Step 4 From the report window, select File>Export. The Export window opens.

Step 5 In the File Name field enter a name for the exported file.

Step 6 Click Save to save the report as a file. You can then print the saved file.

Printing Discrepancy Reports

You can display and print reports about inconsistencies in your network map. To display a discrepancy report, follow these steps:

Step 1 From the CWSI Map, select Reports>Discrepancies.

The Discrepancies Window opens.

Step 2 To print the discrepancy report, select File>Export.

The CWSI Export window opens.

Step 3 In the File name field, enter a name for the exported file.

Step 4 Click Save to save the discrepancy report as a file. You can then print the saved file.

Interpreting the Discrepancy Report

The discrepancy report displays information about inconsistencies or irregularities in your network (Figure 5-1).

Figure 5-1: Discrepancy Report Window

The discrepancy report displays information on inconsistencies or irregularities in your network. Table 5-1 lists and describes these irregularities.

Table  5-1: Discrepancy Table

Discrepancy	Meaning
Trunk VLANs Mismatch	Different ends of a trunk specify different VLANs.
Native VLANs Mismatch	Different ends of a single VLAN link specify different VLANs (native VLANs differ).
VLAN Name Conflict	VLANs with different ISL numbers have the same name in different domains.
VLAN Index Conflict	VLANs with different names have the same ISL number in different domains.
VLAN SAID Conflict	Different SAID numbers on the same VLAN in different domains.
LANE Configuration Server ATM Address Missing	LANE ATM addresses not found on the ATM switch.
LANE Client VLAN/ATM-VLAN Misassociation	ATM-VLAN associated with a VLAN with a different name.
Link Duplex Mismatch	Full-duplex versus half-duplex on either side of a link.
Link Speed Mismatch	Different link speed on either side of a link (for 10/100 ports--or for any group of links).
Trunk VLAN Protocol Mismatch	Protocol encapsulation differs across a trunk (isl versus 802.1Q).
Trunk/nonTrunk Mismatch	Trunking ports versus nontrunking ports on either side of a link.
VTP Disconnected Domain	A link in a VTP domain is not set to trunk. There are devices in this domain which do not communicate through any trunk.
No VTP Server in Domain	There is no VTP server in the domain.
LANE Client with no ATM-VLAN	A LANE client has no ATM-VLANs.
LANE Broadcast Server with no ATM-VLAN	A LANE broadcast server has no ATM-VLAN.
EtherChannel Port Spanning Tree Not Disabled	Spanning Tree is not supported with software release 2.3. Therefore, spanning tree must be disabled for all active VLANs that go across the Fast EtherChannel connections.
