Link Ordinal, Link Count, Last Change | Enterasys Networks FN 100

Using FN100 Trunking

•5 — standby — the trunk group is filled to capacity with other ports; this port is now a hot standby. If another port leaves the trunk group, this port will then be included in the group.

•6 — too-many-groups— the maximum number of groups (4) has been reached, and a new group cannot be added. This port will not be used until the condition clears.

•7 — no-ack(no acknowledgment) — this port has not received a valid trunking packet, and the trunking protocol will restart.

•8 — perturbed-threshold— errors are preventing stabilization, and the trunking protocol will restart.

Link Ordinal

Displays the position of the port’s link within its trunk group.

Link Count

Displays the number of links within the port’s trunk group.

Last Change

Displays the time (in seconds) since the port’s trunk state (sftrunkState) changed.

The lower portion of the Port Trunking window displays the port selection area which, when used in conjunction with the Enable and Disable buttons at the bottom of the window, allows you to enable or disable trunking for selected ports. The port selection area lists each of the FN100’s ports, their trunking state (enabled or disabled), their MIB II ifIndex, ifType, and ifSpeed.

NOTE

Trunking cannot be enabled for the local management (ppp) port (port 9 or 17, depending on your FN100’s port configuration).

The Trunking Table window also features:

Clear

When the Clear button is clicked, any selections you have made in the port selection area will be deselected.

Update

When the Update button is clicked, the FN100 will be queried for trunking information, and any changes that have occurred since the window was opened (or since the Update button was last clicked) will be reflected in the trunking table.
