FDDI Ports
Within an FDDI station, the PHY and PMD entities make up a port. A port
(consisting of the PHY/PMD pair that connects to the fiber media) is located
at both ends of a physical connection and determines the characteristics of
that connection. Each FDDI port is one of four types: A, B, M, or S. You can
display port statistics and configure the following port parameters:
■ lerAlarm
■ lerCutoff
■ port labels
■ port paths
