16LANPLEX® 6000 EXTENDED SWITCHING SOFTWARE
RMON MIB Support Added. RMON MIB support has been added for:
■Statistics
■History
■Alarm
■Event
State Field Added to the Interface Display
A new field, state, has been added to the interface display table, allowing you to view the state of all interfaces configured for each switching module in the system.
The interface state is determined based on the state of all ports associated with the interface. For IP or IPX, the state displayed is either up or down. The AppleTalk® state now has one additional state, named down.
The interface state is displayed as down if:
■No port in the defined interface, including those in overlapping subnets, has established link status. Link status is not established for FDDI DAS ports when neither the A port nor the B port has established link status.
The interface state is displayed as up if:
■One or more ports in the defined interface, including those in overlapping subnets, have established link status.
As the interface state changes, transitions are reflected in the corresponding tables for all directly connected and associated routes, as shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Interface Display Tables That Are Updated as the Interface State Changes
IP | IPX | AppleTalk |

IPX transitions time out immediately. For IP and AppleTalk transitions, all routes associated with the interface time out in the same manner as do learned routes that are not updated.
If link status is transitioned, you do not have to redefine previously defined configurations, such as static routes.
