The Bridge Status Window
You can set or change the device name or location— which display in the Bridge
Traffic View Front Panel—in the Bridge Status window.
The Contact field is the only Bridge Status window field not displayed in the
Bridge Traffic View Front Panel. Use the Contact box to record the name and
phone number of the person responsible for the device.
To set or change information for any of the Bridge Status window fields:
1. Display the Device menu by clicking on the Front Panel button.
2. In the Device menu, drag down to Status and release.
Each port shows the total frames transmitted and
received by the port.
Port summary information includes Port Index (at
the top of the Bridge Port box), Port Status,
Bridge Port State, and Frames Forwarded. You
can display Frames Forwarded as a delta value
(the total number of frames forwarded by this
bridge port to any other port on the bridge during
the last polling interval) or as a percentage value
(showing the percentage of all frames received by
the port from its attached network segment during
the last polling interval that were forwarded to
another port on the bridge) by clicking the
Delta/Percentage button at the bottom of the
window (see Figure 3-3).
Each corner of the bridge port summarizes
activity to another bridge port. You can display
Forwarded To as a delta value (the total number
of frames forwarded by this bridge port to the
specified port on the bridge during the last polling
interval) or as a percentage value (showing the
percentage of all frames received by the port
during the last polling interval that were forwarded
to the specified port on the bridge) by clicking the
Delta/Percentage button at the bottom of the
window (see Figure 3-3).
