module ports by typing

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.)
