Front panel display

The front panel graphic displays the image of the connected switch, its LED panel, and the active data ports.

The front panel LED display simulates the IntraSwitch in real-time operating mode. It approximates all switch activity as it occurs.

Legend bar

This is a bar which is located below the simulated IntraSwitch panel. It describes individual port activity indicated by the use of colored lights within the port connector. These lights indicate Spanning Tree state (i.e., forwarding, blocking, etc.) of the indi- vidual switched port as long as link is estab- lished. If activity is occurring on the port, the bar will display its current usage as fol- lows:

Forwarding.This is a green LED

which indicates forwarding activity on the selected port.

Listening/LearningThis. is a yellow LED which indicates an intermediate Spanning Tree Mode prior to a forward- ing or blocking decision. See Table 7-2.

BlockingThis. is a red LED which indicates that the port has detected a data loop and is no longer switching packets.

DisabledThis. is a blue LED which indicates that the port has been dis- abled.
