Bridge Port Color Codes

The color codes assigned to each port interface in Bridge Application mode indicate the following bridging status conditions; note that the color coding is the same for all port display forms:

•Green — the port is in a Forwarding state; that is, it is on-line and ready to forward packets from one network segment to another. Note that this is the default display for ports which are administratively enabled but not connected.

•Blue — the port has been disabled by management; no traffic can be received or forwarded on this port, including configuration information for the bridged topology.

•Magenta — the port is in a Listening or Learning state.

•Orange — the port is on-line, but filtering (blocking) traffic from going across the 7C0x SmartSwitch from one network segment to another. Bridge topology information is still being forwarded.

•Red — the physical interface has malfunctioned (the port is broken).

The Interface Application Display

The Interface Application Display mode allows you to view the interfaces on all installed modules according to MIB II status and statistics; it also provides access to the Interface and Interface Port menus (Figure 2-10), from which you can launch the MIB I, II application, view the interface list, configure alarms, perform any available port configuration, and, of course, change the port display form.
