The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View
2-8 Viewing Chassis Information¥ The Physical view provides a graphic representation of the front panel of your
SmartSwitch 2000 device, showing how its ports are arranged and what
connector types are present. See The Chassis Physical View, on page 2-16.
The Port Status Menu
The Port Status menu allows you to select the status information that will be
displayed in the port text boxes in the Chassis View window:
¥Status allows you to select one of four status type displays: Bridge, Bridge
Mapping, Admin, or Operator.
¥Load will display the portion of network load processed per polling interval
by each interface, expressed as a percentage of its theoretical maximum load
(10, 100, 155.5, or 1000 Mbps).
¥Errors allows you to display the number of errors detected per polling interval
by each interface, expressed as a percentage of the total number of valid
packets processed by the interface.
¥I/F Mapping will display the interface (if) index associated with each port on
your SmartSwitch 2000 device.
¥I/F Speed will display the portÕs bandwidth: 10M (megabits) for Ethernet;
100M for Fast Ethernet; 155.5M for ATM; and 1G for Gigabit Ethernet.
¥I/F Type will display the port type of each port on your SmartSwitch 2000,
e.g., Eth (ethernet-csmacd), ATM, or FDDI.
¥VLAN Mapping will appear if your device has been conÞgured to operate in
802.1Q mode. It displays the VLAN ID number associated with each port on
your SmartSwitch 2000.
For Ethernet MicroLAN Switches, the Port Status menu will contain the following
options:
¥Load will display the portion of network load processed by each port as a
percentage of the theoretical maximum load of the connected network
segment (10, 100, 155.5, or 1000 Mbps).
¥Port Assignment will display each portÕs repeater channel assignment (A-H).
¥Status allows you to select one of three status type displays: Admin/Link,
