The Console Main Window serves as a control panel for accessing Console tools and functions and viewing Console information. It lets you monitor device status, define network configuration, and automate troubleshooting tasks. The main window is divided into six functional areas:
- Menu Bar - Functions, tools, and help available with Extreme Management Center (Management Center) Console
- Toolbar - Button shortcuts to frequently used menu selections.
- Left Panel - Devices modeled in the Management Center database
- Right Panel - Several tabs where you can use Console's FlexViews to examine the device/interface status and configure certain device settings, locate specific users and devices, and manage VLANs.
- Event View - Tables showing the alarms and events for Console and other Management Center applications.
- Status Bar - Operational status, errors and events
The Menus and Toolbar provide access to Console functions and other Management Center applications. The left panel contains the devices that have been modeled in the Management Center database. The right panel contains several tabbed views where you can create a map of the devices on your network, examine the device/interface status, locate specific users and devices, and manage VLANs.
