The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View
2-14 Viewing Chassis Information
I/F Type
If you choose the I/F Type mode, the interface boxes will display the interface
type of each port on the SmartSwitch 2000, e.g., Eth (ethernet-csmacd), ATM, or
FDDI. Note that there is no type distinction between standard Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet.
Port status view options for an Ethernet MicroLAN Switch are:
Load
If you choose Load, the port 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 by devices connected to the port compared to
the theoretical maximum load (10, 100, 155.5, or 1000 Mbps) of the connected
network.
Status
You can view three status categories for your ports which reßect six possible
Admin/Link, Admin, or Link S
tatus conditions:
¥ Admin/Link Ñ ON, OFF, SEG (segmented), or NLK (not linked)
¥ Admin Ñ ON or OFF
¥ Link Ñ LNK (link), NLK (not linked), or N/A (not available)
If you have selected the Admin/Link status mode, a port is considered:
¥ ON if the port is enabled and has a valid link.
¥ OFF if it has not been enabled or if it has been disabled through management
action.
¥ SEG (segmented) if the port has been enabled by management and has a valid
connection, but has been segmented by the repeater because 33 consecutive
collisions have occurred on the attached segment, or the collision detector was
on for more than 2.4 µs.
¥ NLK (Not Linked) when the port is on, but there is no physical link to the port.
This Þeld is a combination of two status conditions: No Link and Port
Administrative Status On.
If you have selected the Admin status mode, a port is considered:
¥ ON if the port is enabled.
¥ OFF if the port has been disabled by management.
Note that these conditions do not reßect link status.
If you have selected the Link status mode, a port is considered:
¥ LNK (Linked) when a valid link has been established between the port and the
device at the other end of the segment.
¥ NLK (Not Linked) when the port is on, but there is no physical link to the port
or the device at the other end of the portÕs segment is down.
