The 9H42x-xx Module View

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 (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, or BRK

•Bridge Mapping

•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 ready to forward packets across the 9H42x-xx from one network segment to another. Note that this is also the default display for ports which are administratively enabled but not connected.

•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.

•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.

•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.

•BLK (Blocking) if the port is on-line, but filtering traffic from going across the 9H42x-xx from one network segment to another. Bridge topology information will be forwarded by the port.

•BRK (Broken) if the physical interface has malfunctioned.

If you have selected Bridge Mapping, the port status boxes will display the bridge interface index numbers assigned to each interface (which may or may not match the ifIndex values displayed via the I/F Mapping option described below).
