The DELHW-UA Device View 2-83
The MultiSwitch 700 Device View
• Statistics launches the highest level of statistics currently available 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 has been
disabled, MIB-II interface statistics will display. See Chapter 3,
Statistics , for
more information.
• Enable/Disable administratively turns the selected bridging port on or off; see
Enabling and Disabling Ports on page 2-85 for more information.
The DELHW-UA Port Status Displays
When you open the Device View window, each port on the DELHW-UA will
display its Admin status (defined below). To change this status display, select one
of the options on the Port Status menu, as described in the following sections.
To change the status of your ports:
1. Click on Port Status on the menu bar at the top of the Device View window; a
menu displays.
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 — FWD, DIS, LRN, LIS, BLK, BRK, or UNK
• Bridge Mapping — bridge interface index numbers
• Admin — ON or OFF
• Operator — ON or OFF
If you have selected the Bridge status mode, a port is considered:
• FWD (Forwarding) if the port is on-line and forwarding packets across the
DELHW-UA from one network segment to another.
• DIS (Disabled) if bridging at the port has been disabled by management; no
traffic can be received or forwarded on this port, including configuration
information for the bridged topology.
• LRN (Learning) if the Forwarding database is being created, or the Spanning
Tree Algorithm is being executed because of a network topology change. The
port is monitoring network traffic, and learning network addresses.
• LIS (Listening) if the port is not adding information to the filtering database. It
is monitoring Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) traffic while preparing to
move to the forwarding state.
