If you have selected the Admin/Link status mode, a port is considered:
• ON if the port is enabled and has a valid link.
• OFF if it has not been enabled or if it has been disabled through management
action.
• SEG (segmented) if the port has been enabled by management and has a valid
connection, but has been segmented by the repeater because 33 consecutive
collisions have occurred on the attached segment, or the collision detector was
on for more than 2.4 µs.
• NLK (Not Linked) when the port is on, but there is no physical link to the port.
This field is a combination of two status conditions: No Link and Port
Administrative Status On.
If you have selected the Admin status mode, a port is considered:
• ON if the port is enabled.
• OFF if the port has been disabled by management.
These conditions do not reflect link status.
If you have selected the Link status mode, a port is considered:
• LNK (Linked) when a valid link has been established between the port and the
device at the other end of the segment.
• NLK (Not Linked) when the port is on, but there is no physical link to the port
or the device at the other end of the port’s segment is down.
• N/A (not available) when NetSight Element Manager cannot determine the
link status for the port.
