Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Bridge View

Figure 6-6. Bridge Statistics Window

The Bridge Statistics window displays the following information:

Bridging Type

Type refers to the type of bridging supported by the bridge.

unknown

transparent-only

Total Ports

Shows the total number of bridge ports installed in the 7C0x SmartSwitch chassis.

Port

Displays each port’s index number.

IfIndex

Interface index; a unique value for each network (interface) to which this port connects. Only a WAN port will connect to more than one interface simultaneously.

PortCircuit

When dealing with X.25 virtual circuits, it’s possible for two Port Indexes to have the same IfIndex. In such a case, Port Circuit contains the value of a MIB object instance unique to the port; otherwise, Port Circuit is equal to 0.0. For example, if Port 1 maps to IfIndex 1 and Port 2 maps to Ifindex 1, then the Port Circuits are 1.1 and 1.2 respectively.

DelayExceedDiscard

The number of frames a port has discarded due to an excessive transit time through the bridge.
