Performing End Host Actions

The Action column on the far left of any Interface-related table (Interfaces Present, Link Changes, and Hub Locator) provides the following functions for end host device management from the NetMRI console.

  • End Host History: Displays the Device History page of the Device Viewer. For an end host, meaningful values include the Host IP Address, the switch or switch-router Device Name, the interface the host is bound to (Interface), and the VLAN Name to which the host is also bound.

  • Interface History: Displays the Interface Viewer in a separate browser window, which automatically displays the History page, with the most recent records at the top.

  • Device History: Provides the recent connectivity history for the current end host. In this context, the Device Viewer treats end hosts, such as VMs, servers, or host PCs, generically.

  • You can set the Admin Status (Set Admin Status) for the selected switch interface.

  • You can edit the description that appears in the interface table for the selected interface (Edit Description), and change its VLAN assignment (Edit VLAN Membership).
