Bridging
2-12 The Bridge Status Window¥ The Port ConÞguration option opens a window that allows you to view the
address and routing information for an individual Token Ring bridging
interface. This window displays information that is set at the device level via
the Bridge ConÞguration window, such as the Bridge Number and the Virtual
Ring Number. It also allows you to set source route bridging parameters for
that port. See Using the Token Ring Bridge and Port ConÞguration
Windows, page 2-65, for details.
¥ The Dot5 Errors invokes a window that allows you to view 802.5 statistics for
the selected bridging interface on a Token Ring bridging device; see Dot5
Errors, page 2-28, for details.
¥ The RMON MAC Layer option opens the Token Ring Statistics window for
Token Ring devices that support RMON, which enables you to view a
statistical breakdown of trafÞc on the monitored Token Ring interface
(network segment). Note that if the RMON Default MIB component is
disabled, the RMON MAC Layer menu option will launch the Interface
Statistics window. Refer to the RMON UserÕs Guide for more information on
how to enable and disable RMON MIB components. For more information
about this menu option, refer to the Statistics chapter in the Remote
Monitoring (RMON) UserÕs Guide, and/or the appropriate device-speciÞc
UserÕs Guide.
¥ The RMON Promiscuous Stats option opens the Token Ring Promiscuous
Statistics window, which allows you to view statistical information about
those packets that carry the normal data ßow across a bridging interface
(network segment). Note that if the RMON Default MIB component is
disabled, the RMON Promiscuous Stats menu option will launch the Interface
Statistics window. Refer to the Remote Monitoring (RMON) UserÕs Guide for
more information on how to enable and disable RMON MIB components. For
more information about this menu option, refer to the Statistics chapter in the
RMON UserÕs Guide, and/or the appropriate device-speciÞc UserÕs Guide.
¥ The I/F Statistics option activates the Interface Statistics Port window, which
allows you to view color-coded statistical information about each individual
bridge port on the currently monitored device; see Interface Statistics,
page 2-20, for details.
¥ The ConÞguration option opens a window that enables you to conÞgure the
selected bridge interface for either full duplex or standard mode; see Ethernet
Port ConÞguration, page 2-72, for details.
¥ The Alarm ConÞguration option appears as a menu choice for Ethernet
devices which support RMON, and invokes the RMON Basic Alarm
ConÞguration window that enables you to create alarms or actions at a speciÞc
bridge interface based on rising and falling thresholds for Broadcast/Multicast
packets, Kilobits, or Total Errors. Note that if the RMON Default MIB
component is disabled, the Alarm ConÞguration menu option will still appear
and the window will still display; however, you will not have the ability to set
anything. Refer to the Remote Monitoring (RMON) UserÕs Guide for more
information on how to enable and disable RMON MIB components. For more
