Frame Sizes
Displays a percentage for each active port that represents what portion of that
port’s traffic is of a specific size, measured in bytes. You can display any one of the
following frame sizes:
Runts (packets with fewer than 64 bytes)
64-127
128-255
256-511
512-1023
1024-1518
Giants (packets with more than 1518 bytes)
Port Type
Provides the following administrative information about the port:
Admin/Link Status indicates the connection status of the port:
- ON indicates that the port has a valid link signal or does not support a link
signal.
- OFF indicates that the port has been turned off through management
action.
- NLK (No Link) indicates that the port does not have a link to a device at
the other end of the cable, or that there is no cable attached.
- SEG (Segmented) indicates that the port has been segmented by the
repeater due to an excessive collision level.
Admin Status displays either ON or OFF, an indication of whether
management has the port enabled or disabled. A port can be ON but not
operational; for example, under the Admin display, ports that are segmented
or not linked are shown as ON.
NOTE
For the statistical port display form options listed above, three dashes (- - -) will display
for all inactive ports; any active (green) port will display a numeric value, even if it’s
0.0000.
NOTE
Because BNC thin coax, AUI, and transceiver ports do not support the link feature, the
displayed Admin/Link status for those ports may be misleading: for example, a BNC port
will display as segmented when, in fact, there is no cable or terminator attached or the
cable has been disconnected; an AUI or transceiver port will display as on (with a valid
link signal) even when no cable is attached. Be sure to keep these anomalies in mind when
troubleshooting a device so equipped.
