Line Cards
Selecting Line Cards in the left pane displays a
Card List with information on all the cards in the network. The saved
report name starts with CARD_LIST. This
list is useful for managing aspects of a network related to card capacity,
such as keeping track of how many ports of a specific type are available
in the network. The Table Options (right-click a table header for
this menu option) can be used to add additional columns such as the
Version.
