Forms Window
Message Window
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2012
The navigation window contains a tree of folders, sub-folders, and feature icons:
You can click on any closed folder to open it and reveal its contents. Click on any
open folder to close it. Click on any feature icon to load the appropriate status,
statistics, or configuration form in the forms window.
Some folders also have forms. If the name of the folders is underlined, click on the
name to display the appropriate form.
When a feature icon is selected on the navigation window, a status, statistics, or
configuration form is displayed in the forms window. The exact nature of the form
depends on the current context selected on the toolbar, as well as the type of
information available. Not all feature icons have forms for all contexts.
Some forms display switch information such as settings, status, or statistics. Others
allow you to make configuration changes to switch parameters.
Switch log messages are generated by events such as login/logout activity,
password changes, configuration changes, and switch reboot. The BBI records the
most recent messages and displays each one briefly in the message window. When
the last message has been displayed, the cycle is repeated.
To view all messages at the same time, select the Show Log command on the
toolbar. A new Web-browser window will be opened to display the log information.
Close the window when finished.
