Viewing an EXNET Connect Node on a Ring

You can view information about your EXNET Connect node on a CSP ring using the CSA. For each node, information such as the ring ID, the status of the ring, the transmit mode, the source packet, the multi-node ring ID, IP address, and system software version are shown in one window.

Before you begin

Open the CSA. Ensure that the LLC and SwitchManager are running. For information on running the LLC and SwitchManager, refer to the SwitchKit documentation.
