Chassis Uptime (Read-Only)

Displays the total time the chassis has been operating. The chassis uptime is based on which interface module installed in the chassis has been operating for the longest period of time.

Operational Mode (Toggle)

This field allows the user to set all the modules in the chassis to operate as traditional switches (802.1D SWITCHING option), or as IEEE 802.1Q switches (802.1Q SWITCHING option).

In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the 24 ports located on the front panel, and each Fast Ethernet Interface Module, and HSIM port(s) are bridged to each other.

When the operational mode is set to 802.1Q SWITCHING, the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA act as IEEE 802.1Q switches. The modules are able to increase their switching functionality by creating and maintaining port based Virtual LANs (VLANs).

For details on how to select the Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.7.7.
