5Select either Enable or Disable for Link Traps, Partition Traps, and Learn Stations.

6Click on OK.

In the Repeater Port Info panel:

Media Type Shows the type of media connected to the port.

Partition State Shows whether the port is on and repeating traffic, or has been automatically isolated (partitioned). If the port has partitioned check the cabling at both the port and any devices connected to the port, and check for network loops.

Link State Shows the state of the link for a twisted pair (10BASE-T) port.

Port State Enabled / Disabled

Selects whether the port can repeat information to and from the network.

Link Traps Enabled / Disabled

Selects whether a trap is sent to an IP/IPX-based network management application if the link state changes.

Configuring a Port

4-27

Partition Traps Enabled / Disabled

Selects whether a trap is sent to an IP/IPX-based network management application if the partition state changes.

Learn Stations Enabled / Disabled

Selects whether the source address of received frames is learned.

Attached Station Shows the MAC address of the device attached to this port (the last device to transmit to this port).

The check boxes in the View Port box enable you to display statistics for the port and are described in “Monitoring” on page 4-18.

The View Station box is always disabled for Quick Config Manager.
