Edge Switches (Spectra Only)

The 'Edge Switches' page shows the list of active and inactive Edge Switches in your Connect Spectra™ system. When you make edits, make sure to click the 'Save Changes' button (bottom) before leaving that screen. If you change your mind after modifying some settings, simply click the 'Cancel Changes' button.

NOTE:
This screen will look a bit different on systems that are managing a supported router via OneView™. For more details, please read the app note Router Management with OneView™.

Switch ID
An identifier for quick reference. This value can be edited.

Status
Each slider switch in this column can be used to enable (right/green) or disable (left/gray) the entire Edge Switch.


Laser
This indicates which ONS-S8 optical port (OPT 1 - OPT 8) the Edge Switch's ONS-CX-SFP is connected to via it's fiber network.


Connection
A switch is active if the link is green.
A switch is inactive if the link is red.
A green link with a yellow triangle means the switch is active and troubled.
A red link with a grey triangle means the switch is inactive and troubled.

This is the Edge Switch's Media Access Control (MAC) address, which is unique to each Edge Switch.

Security
The grey lock symbol indicates the number of ports on the Edge Switch that do not have MAC address authorization rules set.

The red prohibition (or 'do not') symbol indicates the number of ports on the Edge Switch that are disabled.

Options
Click the More → button to view information on the following tabs:

• Summary 
  Contains Transceiver Info, Edge Switch Info, PoE Budget, PoE by port.
  
  NOTE: PoE-related information is omitted on non-POE Edge Switches.
  
  
• Ports 
  This tab is similar to the main Ports page, but only applies to that particular Edge Switch. In addition, mirror ports can be configured here by clicking on the square icon in the top-right.
  
  
• OneClick Security
  This tab allows you to secure your Connect Spectra system similarly to how you would on the Security page, but only applies to that particular Edge Switch, not globally.

The white boxes at the top of the 'Edge Switches' list allow you to filter by one or more of the following parameters:

• Switch ID
• Status
• Laser
• Connection
• Description
• Model
• MAC Address

To clear your filters, just click on 'Clear Filters' (with the trash can icon beside it). 

There are also 4 buttons above the 'Edge Switches' list: 

• Export
  This saves the 'Edge Switches' list to an Excel spreadsheet or CSV file, which can be shared with others.
  
  
• Add+
  This allows a new Edge Switch to be added manually, which is handy for pre-configuring a single switch or even an entire system before anything is even connected on-site.
  
  
• Upgrade
  This allows you to upgrade the firmware on any connected Optigo Edge Switches that support this functionality. See this article for more detail.
  
  
• Refresh
  This simply refreshes the 'Edge Switches' list.
