for the selected port. For standard Ethernet and Fast Ethernet ports, RMON
statistics will be displayed if the RMON Default MIB component is active; if it

Ñ which do not yet have their own RMON statistics groups Ñ will always
display MIB-II interface stats. See Chapter 3, Statistics, for more information.

Chapter 7, Bridging, and Enabling and Disabling Ports, page 2-32 , for more

Port Status Displays
When you open the Chassis View window, each port will display its current
bridging state (deÞned below); to change this status display, select one of the
options on the Port Status menu, as described in the following sections.
Selecting a Port Status View
To change the status view of your ports:
1. Click on Port Status on the menu bar at the top of the Chassis View window;
a menu will appear.
2. Drag down (and to the right, if necessary) to select the status information you
want to display. The port text boxes will display the appropriate status
information.
Port status view options are:
Status
You can view four port status categories, as follows:
¥ Bridge Ñ FWD, DIS, LRN, LIS, BLK, or BRK
¥ Bridge Mapping Ñ bridge interface index numbers
¥ Admin Ñ ON or OFF
¥ Operator Ñ ON or OFF
If you have selected the Bridge status mode, a port is considered:
¥ FWD (Forwarding) if the port is on-line and ready to forward packets across
the SmartSwitch 7000 from one network segment to another. Note that this is
also the default display for ports which are administratively enabled but not
connected.
¥ DIS (Disabled) if bridging at the port has been disabled by management; no
trafÞc can be received or forwarded on this port, including conÞguration
information for the bridged topology.
