INTELLIGENT INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT USER DEVICE

摘要

An infrastructure management device comprises a processor configured to obtain port status and networking device status for each of one or more physicals networking devices in a system. The device also comprises a display unit coupled to the processor and configured to display one or more virtual networking devices, and a user input element configured to provide user input to the processor. The port status indicates that a cable is inserted into the first port and the processor obtains cable data identifying one or more characteristics of the cable inserted into the first port. The processor is configured to compare the one or more characteristics of the cable inserted into the first port with one or more characteristics defined in the work order. The processor is configured to provide a notification to a user indicating whether the one or more characteristics of the inserted cable comply with the work order.

主权项

1. An infrastructure management system comprising:
a plurality of networking devices, each networking device having a plurality of ports; a connectivity manager coupled to each of the plurality of networking devices via a first network, wherein the connectivity manager is configured to communicate with the plurality of networking devices to obtain status of each of the networking devices and port status of each of the plurality of ports; a database coupled to the connectivity manager and configured to store the port status and networking device status obtained by the connectivity manager; an infrastructure management device coupled to the connectivity manager via a second network, wherein the infrastructure management device is configured to communicate with the connectivity manager to obtain the port status of the plurality of ports and networking device status; wherein the infrastructure management device is configured to display one or more virtual networking devices based on the obtained port status and networking device status, each virtual networking device representing one of the plurality of networking devices; wherein the infrastructure management device is configured to detect user selection of a first port on a first virtual networking device displayed by the infrastructure management device; and wherein based on the selection of the first port, the infrastructure management device is configured to display a second virtual networking device with an indicator identifying a second port on the second virtual networking device, when the first port and the second port are coupled by a first cable.
