Supervisor and Switching Modules
In the Device View, you can right-click an object and get information on it, or configure it. If you
right-click a module, the menu shows the module number and gives you the option to configure or reset
the module. If you right-click on a port, the menu shows the port number and gives you the option to
configure, monitor, enable/disable, set beacon mode, or perform diagnostics on the port.
Tip You can select multiple ports in Device Manager and apply options to all the selected ports at one time.
Either select the ports by clicking the mouse and dragging it around them, or hold down the Control key
and click each port.
To enable or disable a port, right-click the port and click Enable or Disable from the pop-up menu. To
enable or disable multiple ports, drag the mouse to select the ports and then right-click the selected ports.
Click Enable or Disable from the pop-up menu.
Note In Device Manager, Enable and Disable are available only for Fibre Channel ports (and not Ethernet
ports).
To manage trunking on one or more ports, right-click the ports and click Configure. In the dialog box
that appears, right-click the current value in the Trunk column and click nonTrunk, trunk, or auto from
the pull-down list.
