The Switch Port Management feature set makes heavy use of the Interface Viewer for checking interface configurations and status. The information on the Device Viewer > Interfaces page, discussed in this section, is only a subset of the information available in the Interface Viewer.

The Interfaces section (Device Viewer > Interfaces) provides a survey of key discovered data for all interfaces of the chosen networking device. Each interface link in the table provides a shortcut menu with several useful port management features as follows:

  • Interface Viewer: Opens an Interface Viewer window for the selected port.

  • Interface Live Viewer: Opens the Interface Live Viewer for the selected port.

  • Set Admin Status: Allows the NetMRI user, if they have the correct privileges, to set the chosen port to administratively Up or administratively Down without requiring a command-line connection to do so.

  • Edit Description: Edit the interface description field of the chosen interface in the table.
    Edit VLAN Membership: Change the VLAN assignment for the chosen port, without requiring an SSH or Telnet connection to the device.
