The General table displays the following:
The Specification table displays the following information:
Name Displays the name of the controller or service platform interface ge1, up 1etc.
Interface MAC Address Displays the MAC address of the interface.
IP Address IP address of the interface.
IP Address Type Displays the IP address type, either IPv4 or IPv6.
Secondary IP Displays a list of secondary IP resources assigned to this interface.
Hardware Type Displays the networking technology.
Index Displays the unique numerical identifier for the interface.
Access Setting Displays the VLAN mode as either Access or Trunk.
Access VLAN Displays the tag assigned to the native VLAN.
Native VLAN The native VLAN allows an Ethernet device to associate untagged frames to a VLAN when no
802.1Q frame is included in the frame. Additionally, the native VLAN is the VLAN untagged traffic is
directed over when using a port in trunk mode.
Tagged Native VLAN When a frame is tagged, the 12 bit frame VLAN ID is added to the 802.1Q header so upstream
Ethernet devices know which VLAN ID the frame belongs to. The device reads the 12 bit VLAN ID
and forwards the frame to the appropriate VLAN. When a frame is received with no 802.1Q header,
the upstream device classifies the frame using the default or native VLAN assigned to the Trunk
port. A native VLAN allows an Ethernet device to associate untagged frames to a VLAN when no
802.1Q frame is included in the frame.
Allowed VLANs Displays the list of allowed virtual interface(s) on this interface.
Administrative Status Displays whether the interface is currently UP or DOWN.
Media Type Displays the physical connection type of the interface.
Medium types include:
Copper - Used on RJ-45 Ethernet ports
Optical - Used on fibre optic gigabit Ethernet ports
Protocol Displays the routing protocol used by the interface.
MTU Displays the maximum transmission unit (MTU) setting configured on the interface. The MTU value
represents the largest packet size that can be sent over a link. 10/100 Ethernet ports have a
maximum setting of 1500.
Mode The mode can be either:
Access – The Ethernet interface accepts packets only from native VLANs.
Trunk – The Ethernet interface allows packets from a list of VLANs you can add to the trunk.
Metric Displays the metric associated with the interface’s route.
Maximum Speed Displays the maximum speed the interface uses to transmit or receive data.
Admin Speed Displays the speed the port can transmit or receive. This value can be either 10, 100, 1000 or Auto.
This value is the maximum port speed in Mbps. Auto indicates the speed is negotiated between
connected devices.
Operator Speed Displays the current speed of data transmitted and received over the interface.
Admin Duplex Setting Displays the administrator’s duplex setting.
Current Duplex Setting Displays the interface as either half duplex, full duplex or unknown.
