Abstract
Information associated with a port security state of a network device is received. The received information is converted into an icon that corresponds to the port security state of the network device. The icon is displayed to a user.
Claims17
A method for graphically displaying, on a first network device, a port security state of a second network device, said method comprising:
- receiving, at the first network device, data associated with said port security state of said second network device, wherein said data comprises textual information indicating an authentication status and a security status of a port of the second network device;
- converting, by the first network device, said textual information into icons corresponding to the authentication status and security status of the port of said second network device;
- displaying the icons on the first network device;
- periodically updating, by the first network device, the authentication status and the security status of the port of the second network device;
- displaying updated icons on the first network device corresponding to the updated authentication status and the security status of the port of the second network device;
- and
- receiving an input, by the first network device, to configure a time interval for updating the authentication status and the security status of the port of the second network device.

A non-transitory computer readable medium of a first network device storing instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
- receive data associated with a port security state of a second network device, wherein the data comprises textual information indicating an authentication status and a security status of a port of the second network device;
- convert the textual information into icons corresponding to the authentication status and security status of the port of the second network device;
- display the icons on the first network device;
- periodically update the authentication status and the security status of the port of the second network device;
- display updated icons on the first network device corresponding to the updated authentication status and the security status of the port of the second network device;
- and
- receive an input to configure a time interval to update the authentication status and the security status of the port of the second network device.
