The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View
If you have selected the Bridge Mapping status mode, the port display will alter
to show the physical interface index (ifIndex) associated with each front panel
bridge port. For the SmartSwitch 2000 devices, the front panel bridge interfaces
will map directly to each interfaceÕs ifIndex.
If you have selected the Admin status mode, a port is considered:
¥ ON if the port is enabled by management and has a valid link.
¥ OFF if it has not been enabled or if it has been disabled through management
action.
If you have selected the Operator status mode, a port is considered:
¥ ON if the port is currently forwarding packets.
¥ OFF if the port is not currently forwarding packets.
Load
If you choose Load, the interface text boxes will display the percentage of
network load processed by each port during the last polling interval. This
percentage reßects the network load generated per polling interval by devices
connected to the port compared to the theoretical maximum load (10, 100, 155.5,
or 1000 Mbps) of the connected network.
Errors
If you choose the Errors mode, the interface boxes will display the percentage of
the total number of valid packets processed by each port during the last polling
interval that were error packets. This percentage reßects the number of errors
generated during the last polling interval by devices connected to that port
compared to the total number of valid packets processed by the port.
I/F Mapping
If you choose the I/F Mapping mode, the interface boxes will display the interface
number (ifIndex) associated with each port in the SmartSwitch 2000.
I/F Speed
If you choose the I/F Speed mode, the interface boxes will display the bandwidth
of each individual port on the SmartSwitch 2000: 10M (megabits) for standard
Ethernet; 100M for Fast Ethernet, 155.5 M for ATM; and 1.00 G for Gigabit
Ethernet.
NOTES
In SPECTRUM Element Manager, the polling interval is set using the Options window,
accessed via the ToolsÑ>Options option from the primary windowÕs menu bar. Refer to
the SPECTRUM Element Manager UserÕs Guide for full information on setting
device polling intervals.
