-Frame Sizes (% of total packets)

Module Type Displays the type of module, or device, whose ports are currently being displayed in the Ports Display.

Port Status

The Port Status display changes with the type of port display format selected. Statistical selections display values in a statistic/second format. Load displays traffic as a percentage of theoretical maximum capacity. Port Type displays port status (ON, OFF, NLK, etc.). Click mouse button 1 to toggle the port between enabled and disabled; click mouse button 3 to display the Port menu.

Module Index

Indicates the module’s position in the SEHI-managed stack; the SEHI itself is always #1. Click mouse button 1 to open the Module Status window; click mouse button 3 to display the Module menu.

Port Index

Click mouse button 1 to open the Port Status window; click mouse button 3 to display the Port menu.

Hub View Port Color Codes

The Port Status boxes in the Hub View are color coded to indicate the port’s connection status. The colors are consistent for all Port Display Forms except Admin Status; the exceptions are noted below.

•Green indicates that the port is active; that is, the port has been enabled by management, has a valid Link signal (if applicable), and is able to communicate with the station at the other end of the port’s cable segment. Note that an AUI or transceiver port will display as active as long as it has been enabled by management, even if no cable is connected.
