Statistics

Figure 4-3. Interface Statistics Window

Three informational ﬁelds appear in the upper portion of the window:

Description

Displays the interface description for the currently selected port: Ethernet or INB.

Address

Displays the MAC (physical) address of the selected port.

Type

Displays the interface type of the selected port: ethernet-csmacd or other (for the

INB interface). Note that there is no type distinction between Ethernet and Fast

Ethernet.

NOTE

Because of the mismatch between the number of physical interfaces on the device and the

number of interfaces performing bridging, the physical indexing of interfaces (the MIB-II

ifIndex) does not match the indexing of ports with respect to the bridge. For all 9H42x-xx

modules, bridge port indexing begins at index 1 with the INB interface (which has an

ifIndex of 5); the remaining bridge ports are indexed sequentially from there.
