UpTime

The UpTime ﬁeld lists the amount of time, in a days, hh:mm:ss format, that the device has been running since the last start-up.

Index

The index value assigned to each interface on the device.

Type

The type of the interface, distinguished by the physical/link protocol(s) running immediately below the network layer. Possible values are sdlc (for the MMAC-Plus SMB 1 proprietary management backplane), ethernet-csmacd(for the MMAC-Plus SMB 10 ethernet management backplane), fddi (for the FDDI FNB interface), and atm (for the front panel ATM connection).

Description

A text description of the interface: Ctron SMB (for the MMAC-Plus SMB 1 and SMB 10 management backplane interfaces); FDDI (for the FDDI FNB interface), or ATM.

P. Sta

Displays the current physical status — or operational state — of the interface: Online or Ofﬂine.

L. Sta

Displays the current logical status — or administrative state — of the interface: Up or Down.

Interface Performance Statistics/Bar Graphs

The statistical values and accompanying bar graphs to the right of the interface description ﬁelds provide a quick summary of interface performance. You can select the statistical value you want to display and the units in which you want those values displayed by using the two menu buttons directly above the graphs, as follows:

1.Click on the right menu button to select the unit in which you wish to display

the selected statistic: , , or .

2.Once you have selected the base units, click on the left menu button to specify the statistic you’d like to display. (The options from this menu will vary depending on the base units you have selected.)

After you select a new display mode, the statistics and graphs will refresh to reﬂect the current choice, as described below.
