CHAPTER 4
MONITORING
4.1 DISPLAYING SWITCH MODULE PORT STATUS
Using Local Console Manager, you can get the status of the switch module ports by typing status for the appropriate switch module port. A sample display is shown below.
ATX >status 3
Port 3 (1st port on module 3) status
Type: 100 Mbps Ethernet/802.3 CSMA/CD
Bridging: Transparent/Translating
Routing: IP Routing
Enabled/Disabled: Bridging/Routing functions enabled
Spanning Tree: Forwarding
Pkts Transmitted: 2021469
Pkts Received: 1078
Small Buffers: 36
Rx_Q Overflows: 0
Carrier Losses: 0
Total Collisions: 4
Excess Collisions: 0
Rx FCS/Align Errs: 0
Internal Rx Errs: 0
Internal Tx Errs: 0
The status of a switch module port includes the following information:
•Type - 100 Mbps Ethernet/802.3 CSMA/CD
•Bridging - which functions have been enabled for bridging (see the bridge command).
•Routing - which functions have been enabled for routing (see iproute and ipxroute commands).
•Enabled/Disabled - enabled if it is operational or, disabled if you used the disable command to disable it. If the port is enabled but not operational, its status will be broken. (A port could be broken if it is so badly misconfigured as to be unusable. You might see a status of broken if a FDDI or Token Ring port can’t connect to a logical ring, or if an Ethernet or Fast Ethernet port continually fails as it tries to transmit.)
