Field

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Port Id

 

The physical port number.

 

 

This is displayed in the format <slot>.<port number>.

 

 

Admin State

The administrative state of the physical port.

 

 

If the state is UP then this physical port is enabled.

 

 

If the state is DOWN then this physical port is disabled. This will

 

 

occur when you disable the physical port using the command-

 

 

line interface or use SNMP.

 

 

 

Oper State

 

The operational state of the physical port. If the state is UP then

 

 

this physical port is functional. If the state is DOWN then this

 

 

physical port is not functional. This could be due to a problem

 

 

with the physical connection.

 

 

Speed (kbps)

The speed for a physical port in kbps.

 

 

 

Framing

 

The physical layer framing for a physical port. For fiber the value

Mode

 

is either Sonet or SDH. The default setting is Sonet. For DS3 the

 

 

value is either C-bit or M23. The C-bit framing mode for DS3

 

 

reserves the C-bits for application-specific uses. The M23

 

 

framing mode for DS3 uses the C-bits to indicate the presence or

 

 

absence of stuffing bits. The default setting is C-bit.

 

 

The CPU port will always display “_ _ _” and the Backplane port

 

 

will always display “_ _ _”.
