The SmartSwitch 7000 Chassis View
¥LIS (Listening) if the port is not adding information to the Þltering database. It is monitoring Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) trafÞc 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 trafÞc, and learning network addresses.
¥BLK (Blocking) if the port is
¥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).
If you have selected the Admin status mode, a port is considered:
¥ON if the port is enabled by management.
¥OFF if it has not been enabled or if it has been disabled through management action.
Note that the Admin state reßects the state requested by management; depending on the circumstances, this may or may not match the current Operator status, described below.
If you have selected the Operator status mode, a port is considered:
¥ON if the port is currently forwarding packets.
¥OFF if the port is not currently forwarding packets.
Note that the Operator status provides the actual status of the port; depending on the circumstances, this may or may not reßect the Admin state currently requested by management. For example, ports which are administratively ON but not yet connected would display an Operator status of OFF, since no packets are being forwarded.
Load
If you choose Load, the interface text boxes will display the percentage of network load processed by each port during the last polling interval. This percentage reßects the network load generated per polling interval by devices connected to the port compared to the theoretical maximum load (10 or 100 Mbits/sec) of the connected network.
Errors
If you choose the Errors mode, the interface boxes will display the percentage of the total number of valid packets processed by each port during the last polling interval that were error packets. This percentage reßects the number of errors
