Accessing switch management address information (Menu)

From the Main Menu, select:

1. Status and Counters ...

2. Switch Management Address Information

Figure 144 Example of management address information with VLANs configured

This screen displays addresses that are important for management of the switch. If multiple VLANs

are not configured, this screen displays a single IP address for the entire switch. See the online

Help for details.

NOTE: As shown in Figure 144 (page 306), all VLANs on the switches use the same MAC address.

(This includes both the statically configured VLANs and any dynamic VLANs existing on the switch

as a result of GVRP operation.)

Also, the switches use a multiple forwarding database. When using multiple VLANs and connecting

a switch to a device that uses a single forwarding database, such as a Switch 4000M, there are

cabling and tagged port VLAN requirements.

Viewing additional component information

The CLI show modules command displays additional component information for the following:

• SSM—identification, including serial number

• Mini-GBICS—a list of installed mini-GBICs displaying the type, "J" number, and serial number

(when available)

Additionally, this command displays the part number (J number) and serial number
