Managing the Hub 2-27
Using the EMM-E6 Hub View
Managing the Hub
In addition to the performance information described in the preceding sections,
the Hub View also provides you with the tools you need to configure your hub
and keep it operating properly. Hub management functions include setting
polling intervals, changing a RIC MIM’s channel assignment, setting a port’s
trunk type, and enabling and disabling ports at the module level and
individually.
Setting the Polling Intervals
To set the polling intervals used by SPMA and the EMM-E6:
1. Click on to display the Device menu.
2. Drag down to Polling Intervals, and release.
NOTE
The snapshots of the Source Address List that you can obtain via this feature do not reflect
the current port security status of the SAT — that is, when Source Address Locking is
enabled, you can still observe addresses being aged out of the table and new addresses
being added as you refresh the Source Address List displayed in this window. However,
the EMM-E6 remembers the addresses that were in the table when locking was enabled,
and will continue to protect all locked ports from access by unauthorized sources. For
more information, see Locking Source Addresses in Chapter 6; see also Chapter 7,
Security.
Also, keep in mind that the port-level source address list provides information about a
single port only; for a complete list of source addresses communicating through the device
as a whole, use the Source Addressing option on the Device menu. Again, see Chapter 6
for more information.
