Ports view
When you select an item from the menu tree in the Topology, a Ports tab displays in the right pane. This view shows all the ports within the customer, container or device selected and the status of each port. For example, if you select a container, the Ports tab displays all of the ports on all of the devices that reside inside the selected container. If you select a device, all of the ports for that device are displayed.
You can also view the adapters/hosts and port changes for a selected port by clicking Show Details Panel. This panel provides direct access to the information found in the Connection Details and Port Changes Views for the selected port, allowing you to quickly view and modify adapters that are connected to the port. See View connection details and Port changes view for information about the fields contained in these tabs.
Ports or interfaces are displayed in the order in which they appear in the interface table on a device. Depending on the device and its configuration, ports may not display in order numerically or alphabetically. When hosts are connected to a port, icons are displayed to indicate the type of host that is connected and its status. You can update the Ports view for the selected device.
When you select a supported wireless device from the menu tree, Ports and SSIDs tabs are displayed in the right pane. This view shows all of the SSIDs on the device, however, it does not show when hosts are connected. If an SSID has been removed from the device, it is displayed in red on the SSIDs tab. The configuration information for that SSID remains in the database until it is deleted manually. When FortiNAC resynchronizes with the device, all SSIDs that exist on the device are displayed. If an SSID was deleted from FortiNAC, but still exists on the device, it reappears during resynchronization. See SSID view.
See Icons for additional information.
