The 9A128-01 Module View

Initially, each FDDI port on the 9A128-01 will by default display its current connection status (deﬁned below); to change this status display, select the Connect or LER Estimate option on the Port Status menu, as described in the following section. Note that the status display of the bridge ports will remain the same when you change the port status display of the FDDI Ports to Connect; however, when you change the port status display of the FDDI Ports to LER Estimate, the bridge ports will display Percent Errors.

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 Module View window; a menu will appear.

2.Drag down to Bridge, and to the right to select the bridge port status information you want to display. The bridge port text boxes will display the appropriate status information.

Bridge Port Status Displays

You can choose from 5 different bridge port display options:

I/F Mapping

If you choose the I/F Mapping mode, the interface boxes will display the interface number (ifIndex) associated with each bridge port on the 9A128-01 module.

I/F Speed

If you choose the I/F Speed mode, the interface boxes will display the bandwidth of each individual bridge port on the 9A128-01 module; e.g., 100 Mbits/sec.

I/F Type

If you choose the I/F Type mode, the interface boxes will display the interface type of each bridge port on the 9A128-01 module; e.g., Eth (Ethernet).

NOTE

The Bridge Port State and Bridge Mapping status modes will not be supported for devices which have been conﬁgured for SecureFast switching.

Firmware versions 2.10.13 and earlier do not support the ability to select SecureFast switching; if you have a later version of ﬁrmware, check your hardware manual to see if your version of ﬁrmware supports this feature. The toggle from traditional bridging to SecureFast switching is performed via Local Management; see your Local Management documentation for details.
