The MicroMMAC-T Chassis View

Port status view options are:

Load

If you choose Load, the port text boxes will display the percentage of network load processed by each port during the last polling interval. This percentage reflects the network load generated by devices connected to the port compared to the theoretical maximum load (4 or 16 Mbits/sec) of a Token Ring network.

Status

You can view two Status categories for your ports which reflect six possible Admin/Link or Admin status conditions:

•Admin/Link — ENB (enabled), BYP (bypassed), LNK (linked), or INS (inserted)

•Admin — ON or OFF

If you have selected the Admin/Link status mode, a port is considered:

•ENB (enabled) if the port has been enabled by management, but there is no station linked to that port.

•BYP (bypassed) if the port has been disabled by management, and there is no station linked to that port.

•LNK (linked) when the port has been disabled by management, and there is a station linked to that port.

•INS (inserted) when the port has been enabled by management, and there is a station linked to that port.

If you have selected the Admin status mode, a port is considered:

•ON if the port is enabled.

•OFF if the port has been disabled by management.

Errors

If you choose the Errors mode, an additional menu offers the following options:

Errors	Total Soft Errors, Line, Burst, AC, Abort Sequences,
	Internal, Lost Frames, Congestion, FC, Token, or
	Frequency

The port status boxes will display the percentage for each active port that represents what portion of that port’s total traffic is of the specific error type that you selected. See Chapter 3, Token Ring Statistics, for complete descriptions of these error types.

Select one of the Errors options to see what percentage of the total frames received by each active port during the last polling interval was of the error type you selected. This percentage reflects the number of errors generated by devices connected to that port in relation to the total number of frames processed by the port (errors ÷ [errors + frames]).
