The Device Menu
From the Device Menu, you can access the following selections:
• Device Type displays a window containing a description of the device being
modeled. See Device Type , on page 2-20 , for details.
• Device Find Source Address enables you to determine through which
interface a specified MAC address is communicating by searching the repeater
Source Address Table (SAT) and the 802.1d bridge Filtering database. If the
specified MAC address is located, a list of interface(s) through which the given
address is communicating will be displayed. See
Using Device Find Source
Address , on page 2-27 .

module’s internal clock; see Setting the Device Date and Time , on page 2-72 .
