connected to the port compared to the theoretical maximum load (10 or 100 Mbits/sec) of an Ethernet network.

Errors

If you choose the Errors mode, the interface boxes will display the percentage of the total number of valid packets processed by each port during the last polling interval that were error packets. This percentage reßects the number of errors generated during the last polling interval by devices connected to that port compared to the total number of valid packets processed by the port.

NOTE

In SPECTRUM Element Manager, the polling interval is set via the Tools Ñ>

Options...Ñ>Polling option from the main windowÕs menu bar. Refer to the Installing and Using SPECTRUM Element Manager guide for full information on setting device polling intervals.

I/F Mapping

If you choose the I/F Mapping mode, the interface boxes will display the interface number (IfIndex) associated with each port on the CSX200/400.

I/F Speed

If you choose the I/F Speed mode, the port text boxes will display the speed of the network segment connected to each port. The speed of the network management port will be displayed in Kbits/sec.

I/F Type

If you choose the I/F Type mode, the interface boxes will display the interface type of each port on the CSX200/400 (e.g., Eth, PPP, other).

Port Status Color Codes

The Port Status display options Ñ Bridge, Admin, and Operator Ñ incorporate color coding schemes. For the Admin and Operator Status display options, green = ON, red = OFF, and blue = N/A (not available). For the Bridge Status display option, green = forwarding, blue = disabled, magenta = learning and listening, orange = blocking, red = broken, and gray = unknown.

For all other Port Status selections Ñ Load, Errors, I/F Port Mapping, Speed, and Type Ñ color codes will continue to reßect the most recently selected mode which incorporates its own color coding scheme.

The Chassis Manager Window

Like most networking devices, the CSX200/400 draws its functionality from a collection of proprietary MIBs and IETF RFCs. In addition, the CSX200/400 organizes its MIB data into a series of Òcomponents.Ó A MIB component is a logical grouping of MIB data, and each group controls a deÞned set of objects. For
