    • Cluster - AP was added to the Device Catalog, but is still in Cluster mode and is not being managed by OmniVista Cirrus 10. You can move the device to "Cloud" by licensing (if necessary) and restarting the activation process on the device.

  • LED Mode (AP only) - The LED Mode configured for the Access Point.

    • Normal Mode (Default) - The LED displays in normal mode (Red/Green/Blue).

    • Night Mode - The LED indicator is shut off.

    • Blink Mode - LED alternately blinks Red/Green/Blue so that you can visually locate the AP(s).

    • If this field is blank, the device is updated on the next call home.

  • Running From (Switch only) - Indicates whether the switch is running from the Certified directory or from the Working directory. The directory structure that stores the Switch image and configuration files in flash memory is divided into two parts:

    • The Certified directory contains files that have been certified by an authorized user as the default configuration files for the switch. When the switch reboots, it will automatically load its configuration files from the certified directory if the switch detects a difference between the certified directory and the working directory.

    • The Working directory contains files that may or may not have been altered from those in the certified directory. The working directory is a holding place for new files to be tested before committing the files to the certified directory. You can save configuration changes to the working directory. You cannot save configuration changes directly to the certified directory.

  • Changes (Switch only) - Indicates the state of changes made to the Switch configuration. This field can display the following values:

    • Certified - Changes have been saved to the working directory, and but the working directory has been copied to the certified directory. The working directory and the certified directory are thus identical.

    • Uncertified - Changes have been saved to the working directory, but the working directory has not been copied to the certified directory. The working directory and the certified directory are thus different.

    • Unsaved - Changes have been made to the running configuration of the device that have not been saved to the working directory.

    • Blank - When this field is blank, the implication is that OmniVista Cirrus knows of no unsaved configuration changes and assumes that the working and certified directories in flash memory are identical..

  • VC Name (Switch only) - If the Switch is participating in a Virtual Chassis (VC) configuration, this field displays the name of the VC configuration.

  • Part Number (Switch only) - The part number of the module or sub-module.

Switch Modules

The OmniVista Cirrus 10 polling interval is once an hour to collect switch module information. If some information appears out of date, wait until the next polling interval.
