37 The Application View Changing Application View Mode Changing Application View Mode The Application View allows you to toggle between Icon Mode and List Mode for displaying applications. Additionally, the Use Default option, when in Edit mode, instructs SPECTRUM to use the default view mode as configured in the app-defaults/spectrum file. When the Application View is initially opened, SPECTRUM sets the default to Icon Mode, which displays each application as an icon. List Mode displays the applications in a hierarchical tree structure and allows you to select the level of detail by collapsing or exploding branches of the tree. To toggle the Application View from Icon Mode to List Mode, follow these steps: 1. Select Mode... from the View menu. 2. Select List... from the Mode menu. The mode currently in use (Icon...) will appear grayed out on the menu. Initially, List Mode displays the entire application tree structure in exploded format. Single-clicking on any button using the left mouse button closes that branch of the List Mode tree structure. This feature allows you to simplify the tree structure such that specific sub-applications are hidden, or to explode previously hidden branches. The color of the buttons indicates the condition status of each application. Major applications (e.g., CtRouter) appear as text in the top level of the tree structure. You can access each application s Icon Subviews menu by highlighting the application s text representation and selecting Icon Subviews from the View menu, or by single-clicking on the application s text representation with the right mouse button. To toggle the Application View from List Mode to Icon Mode, follow these steps: 1. Select Mode... from the View menu. 2. Select Icon... from the Mode menu. The mode currently in use (List...) will appear grayed out on the menu. Figure 2-12 provides an overview of how to toggle between List Mode and Icon Mode from the View menu. Figure 2-13 provides an example of a Routing Services Application View in Icon Mode. Figure 2-14 provides an example of an Application View in List Mode.

45 Interfaces Interfaces The Interface option in the Application View icon and text label Icon Subviews menus provides access to Configuration and Performance Views for each port. Interface options available include: CSIIfPort_1, CSIIfPort_2, CSIIfPort_3, RedundPort_4, and BRIMIfFDDI_5. Each interface option has its own related Configuration View and Performance View. Port Configuration To access the Port Configuration - CSIIfPort View, highlight the icon or text label and select Interfaces from the Icon Subviews Menu. Click and hold to select the appropriate interface option, and then select Configuration from the interface s submenu. This view contains information about the selected router port and essentially gives a high-level view of the configuration and administrative state of the router port. IP Routing, AT Routing, DECnet Routing, and IPX Routing Port Configuration Views These views contain the following information and configuration parameters: Admin Status This button allows you to select the current administrative state of the routing service on the router port for which the entry exists. Possible states are: ON, OFF, TEST. Router Port Identifies the router port. Operational Status The current operating condition of the router port for which the entry exists. Operational Time The elapsed time, displayed days+hours:minutes:seconds, that the routing service represented by the entry has been in its current administrative state. IF Description A textual description of the port. This description may include the device type, the port type, and the channel number. MAC Address The MAC address of this router port. Icons and Views 2-22 Management Module Guide

46 Interfaces Port Configuration MTU The maximum transmission unit for this router port. The default is You can change this value. Proxy Arp Status This button allows you to enable or disable the ARP Proxy agent on this router port. Enabling Proxy ARP on a router port allows hosts on the local network segment to communicate with hosts on remote network segments, without knowledge of specific Subnet Masks or default gateway addresses. Disabling Proxy ARP requires that hosts on each network segment be configured with the Subnet Mask assigned to that segment, and with the IP address of the default router to use. Forwarding This button allows you to enable or disable the forwarding of packets on this router port. Selecting Enabled causes packets to be forwarded by this router port. Selecting Disabled causes packets not to be forwarded by this router port. Frame Type This button allows you to select the type of framing to be used on this router port. Possible frame types are: Ethernet, SLIP (Serial Line IP), SNAP (Systems Network Architecture Protocol), or Other. The default is Ethernet. Access Control List ACL ID The access control identifier of the access control list in effect on this router port. A value of 0 indicates that no access control list is in effect. ACL Status This button allows you to enable or disable the operation of any access control list configured for this router port. Selecting Enabled causes the access control list to be applied. Selecting Disabled causes the access control list not to be applied E5 Icons and Views 2-23

47 Interfaces Hop Cache Cache Control This button allows you to enable or disable next hop caching on this router port. Selecting Enabled turns on the next hop caching. Next hop caching speeds up the switching process by keeping track of the next hop addresses that are used to forward packets, and by having these addresses ready to use when additional packets need to be forwarded to the same destination network. Selecting Disabled turns off caching. Cache Entries The number of entries in the next hop cache that can be used to provide the next hop addresses required to forward packets on this router port. Cache Hits The number of times entries in the next hop cache have been used to provide the next hop addresses required to forward packets on this router port. Cache Misses The number of times the next hop address required to forward a packet on this router port was not found in the next hop cache. IP RIP, IP OSPF, AT Proto, DEC IV Proto, IPX RIP, and IPX SAP Port Configuration Views These views contain the following information and configuration parameters. The IP OSPF Port Configuration View supports a subset of these parameters. Admin Status This button allows you to select the current administrative state of the routing service on the router port for which the entry exists. Possible states are: ON, OFF, TEST. Router Port Identifies the router port. Operational Status The current operating condition of the router port for which the entry exists. Operational Time The elapsed time, displayed days+hours:minutes:seconds, that the routing service represented by the entry has been in its current administrative state. Advertisement The periodic interval (in seconds) at which protocol will advertise its route table on this router port. Icons and Views 2-24 Management Module Guide

48 Interfaces Flood Delay The amount of time to wait (in seconds) after discovering that a directly connected route has gone down, before flooding updates on this router port. Setting the value to 0 will cause updates to be sent immediately. Request Delay The amount of time (in seconds) that the protocol will wait after receiving a request packet, before sending a response. Setting the value to 0 will cause a response to be sent immediately. Priority The priority of the agent on this router port. Type This button allows you to specify whether the attached network segment supports broadcast media access. Selecting BMA allows route advertisement packets to be sent as broadcasts. Selecting NBMA indicates that route advertisement packets must be addressed directly to each neighbor. Transmit Cost The cost of transmission for packets on this router port. Establishing a transmission cost allows accounting of transmission costs at a per packet rate. Hello Timer The periodic interval (in seconds) at which the protocol will advertise its route table on this router port. Split Horizon This button allows you to enable or disable the operation of Split Horizon on this router port. Split Horizon keeps track of the port on which route information is received and prevents route information from being sent back from the same router port on which it was received. Poison Reverse This button allows you to enable or disable the operation of Poison Reverse on this router port. Poison Reverse allows the protocol to advertise a downed route as unreachable during the period of time specified by Hold Down. Snooping This button allows you to enable or disable snooping on this router port. Enabling snooping operatesthe protocol in passive mode. It receives route information, maintains and builds a route information table, but does not advertise E5 Icons and Views 2-25
