> ⚠️ The Switch Port Management feature set makes heavy use of the Interface Viewer for checking interface configurations and status. The information on the **Device** **Viewer** > **Interfaces** page, discussed in this section, is only a subset of the information available in the Interface Viewer.

The **Interfaces** section (**Device** **Viewer** > **Interfaces**) provides a survey of key discovered data for all interfaces of the chosen networking device. Each interface link in the table provides a shortcut menu with several useful port management features as follows:

- **Interface** **Viewer:** Opens an Interface Viewer window for the selected port.
- **Interface** **Live** **Viewer:** Opens the Interface Live Viewer for the selected port.
- **Set** **Admin** **Status:** Allows the NetMRI user, if they have the correct privileges, to set the chosen port to administratively Up or administratively Down without requiring a command-line connection to do so.
- **Edit** **Description:** Edit the interface description field of the chosen interface in the table.  
**Edit** **VLAN** **Membership:** Change the VLAN assignment for the chosen port, without requiring an SSH or Telnet connection to the device.
