The Layer 2 Window

Understanding the Layer 2 Window

The Layer 2 Window contains three main panes:

• The Endpoints pane - the upper right pane lists all switch ports and the devices connected to them. It contains only those ports and devices that match the filter criteria in the Filter pane.
• The Filter pane - the left pane provides criteria for showing or hiding endpoints based on their presence on a particular switch, VLAN, or the endpoint's manufacturer. lists available switches, the VLANs in which they appear, and manufacturers of network interface cards of the devices connected to them. Use the check boxes to select or hide endpoints in the Endpoints pane, and type additional criteria to help select the endpoints you want to view.
• The Connections pane - the lower right pane provides details about switch-to-switch connections.
