MONITORING
4.1 DISPLAYING SWITCH MODULE PORT STATUS
Using Local Console Manager, you can get the status of the switch
module ports by typing
status for the appropriate switch module port. A
sample display is shown below.
ATX >status 3
Port 3 (1st port on module 3) status
Type: 100 Mbps Ethernet/802.3 CSMA/CD
Bridging: Transparent/Translating
Routing: IP Routing
Enabled/Disabled: Bridging/Routing functions enabled
Spanning Tree: Forwarding
Pkts Transmitted: 2021469
Pkts Received: 1078
Small Buffers: 36
Rx_Q Overflows: 0
Carrier Losses: 0
Total Collisions: 4
Excess Collisions: 0
Rx FCS/Align Errs: 0
Internal Rx Errs: 0
Internal Tx Errs: 0
The status of a switch module port includes the following information:
• Type - 100 Mbps Ethernet/802.3 CSMA/CD
• Bridging - which functions have been enabled for bridging (see the
bridge command).
• Routing - which functions have been enabled for routing (see
iproute
and
ipxroute commands).
• Enabled/Disabled - enabled if it is operational or, disabled if you used
the disable command to disable it. If the port is enabled but not
operational, its status will be broken. (A port could be broken if it is so
badly misconfigured as to be unusable. You might see a status of
broken if a FDDI or Token Ring port can’t connect to a logical ring, or
if an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet port continually fails as it tries to
transmit.)
