Interface Port Display Forms

You can display the following information for each available interface:

Oper Status

An interface’s Operational Status is its actual state; note that this may not always be the same as the requested, or administrative state:

ON — the port is administratively enabled, a link is present, and the port is functioning normally.

NLK (no link) — the port is administratively enabled, but no link is present. This typically indicates that no cable is currently connected to the interface.

OFF — the port is not operational; this may be because it has been administratively disabled, it has malfunctioned in some way, or it is attempting to move into a testing state. Note that the color code (described in the following section, page 2-20) that accompanies this display will indicate which of these three conditions has caused the OFF state.

TEST — the port is being tested.

Link Status

A port’s Link Status tells you whether or not the port has a valid connection to the node at the other end of the cable segment. Note that this status does not provide any indication of administrative (ON or OFF) or operational status.

NLK (no link) — no link is present.

LNK — a link is present.

Duplex Mode

The Duplex Mode status indicates which interfaces have been configured to operate in Full Duplex mode, and which are operating in standard mode. Interfaces which are operating in full duplex mode can both transmit and receive packets at the same time, effectively doubling the wire speed; interfaces in standard mode must finish transmitting before they can receive, and vice versa.

Stand — the interface is operating in standard mode.

Full — the interface is operating in full duplex mode.
