Bundle Number: Select the bundle number whose connection you want to monitor.

		Table 3-5. IP Channel Status
Field	Description
Next Hop Mac	In this screen Next Hop Mac Address displayed is in fact the resulting Mac
Address	Address of the ARP process for the destination IP address.
	N/A: Indicates that a cross connection was made and this field is irrelevant.
	FFFFFFFF:	Indicates an unreachable bundle.
Connectivity Status	Disabled:	Channel is disabled.
	OK:	Indicates that Ethernet frames are received on the local and
	remote IPmux-16.
	OK-LOOP:	Indicates that a cross connection has been successfully made.
	Remote Fail:	Ethernet frames are not received by the remote IPmux-16.
	Local Fail:	Ethernet frames are not received by the local IPmux-16.
	Disabled:	Connection is disabled.
Sequence Errors	The number of times a frame was dropped because frames were received from
	the network with SN field not equal to the last SN + 1. This indicates a packet
	loss or a certain level of packet misordering.
Jitter Buffer	The number of times frames were dropped because the receive buffer was in an
Underflows	underflow state. The buffer enters underflow state when:

• Recurring or numerous sequence errors occur

• Underflow takes place due to PDV expiration

• An overflow condition occurs.

Jitter Buffer Overflows Number of times that frames were dropped because the receive buffer exceeded the maximum allowed depth.

Note For internal cross-connected bundles, the Next Hop MAC Address will be set to N/A, and the Connectivity Status will be OK – Loop to the cross-connected bundle.
