BRIM Ports

BRIM ports E and F will display status colors (green for ON, blue for OFF) for any installed BRIM modules, along with the BRIM type (FDDI, WAN, etc.).

Bridge Port Status Displays the current administrative status of bridge ports A, B, C, and D: ON (green) or OFF (blue). This display will always be the same regardless of the Port Display Form selected for MIM ports. Click mouse button 1 to toggle the ports ON or OFF.

AUI Redundancy

If you have configured and enabled a redundant circuit for the front panel Channel D ports, their current redundancy status — Active or Inactive — will be displayed. If no redundant circuit has been enabled for these ports, the boxes will remain uncolored and DIS (disabled) will be displayed. Note that these boxes only display the ports’ redundancy status, not their link or admin status.

EMM-E6 Menu

Click mouse button 3 on the Module Type box to access the EMM-E6 menu; drag right to select Logical, which displays the EMM-E6 bridge ports with their logical names (A, B, C, D, E, and F); or Interface Number, which displays the port names numerically (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).

Bridge Port State

Displays the current bridging state for channels A, B, C, and D: Learning (yellow; the port is monitoring network traffic, learning network addresses); Listening (yellow; the port is monitoring BPDU traffic on the network while preparing to move to the Forwarding state); Forwarding (green); Blocking (red); or DIS (blue; port status is OFF).
