•ON if the port is currently forwarding packets.

•OFF if the port is not currently forwarding packets.

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 reﬂects 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 an Ethernet 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 reﬂects the number of errors generated during the last polling interval by devices connected to that port compared to the total number of valid packets processed by the port.

NOTE

In NetSight Element Manager, the polling interval is set via the Tools—>Optionwindow available from the primary window menu bar.

Refer to the NetSight Element Manager User’s Guide for full information on setting device polling intervals.

I/F Mapping

If you choose the I/F Mapping mode, the interface boxes will display the interface number (IfIndex) associated with each port in the ATX Chassis.

I/F Speed

If you choose the I/F Speed mode, the port text boxes will display the speed (10 or 100 Mbits/sec) of the network segment connected to each port. The speed of the network management port will be displayed in Kbits/sec.

I/F Type

If you choose the I/F Type mode, the interface boxes will display the interface type of each port in the ATX Chassis (e.g., Eth, PPP, FDDI, or TR).

Port Status Color Codes

The Port Status display options —Bridge, Admin, and Operator— incorporate color coding schemes. For the Admin and Operator Status display options, green = ON, red = OFF, and blue = N/A (not available). For the Bridge Status display option, green = forwarding, blue = disabled, magenta = learning and listening, orange = blocking, red = broken, and gray = unknown.

For all other Port Status selections — Load, Errors, I/F Mapping, I/F Speed, and I/F Type— color codes will continue to reﬂect the most recently selected mode which incorporates its own color coding scheme.
