The Output Window
The CompatiView Output Window
There is an Output Window at the bottom of the Device View which lets you
quickly check the current status of the selected configuration parameter or
review the device configuration. The tabs show different types of parameter
values. In some cases, these parameters may be different than those stored in
the device’s Flash ROM due to auto-configuration.
The Output Window is broken up into three tabbed sections.
• The Local Config View tab displays the complete device configuration
and will reflect any changes you have made in the edit area for a device.
• The Device Information tab displays the hardware configuration of the
device.
• The Command Line Output tab is where output from the Statistics
menu options will appear. This tab also displays information currently in
effect on the device.
The Statistics Menu
This menu allows you to display protocol routing tables and other information
for a device. The output from these options is displayed in the Command Line
Output tab in the Output Window. The specific menu options available
depend on the current device type.
The first set of menu items displays the same information that is available
when using certain commands within the command line interface. Refer to
the section in the Text-Based Configuration and Command Line Reference
Guide as indicated for a detailed description of the output from these menu
items.
