Working with Links
•Ignored—Indicates whether the link is to be included when aggregating and
displaying SGM status information:
–
Clear the checkbox to include the link. This is the default setting.
–
Select the checkbox to exclude the link.
This field can be edited by users with authentication level Power User
(Level2) and higher.
•Notes—Indicates whether there is a note associated with the link.
•Events—Indicates whether there is a recent event associated with the link.
–
To delete the event icon from SGM displays for a specific link, select the
link and click the icon.
–
To delete the event icon from SGM displays for all links, select Edit >
Clear All Events from the SGM Main Menu.
Note During Discovery, SGM might flag most links with an event icon. If the
event icons are too distracting, use the Edit > Clear All Events menu
option to remove them.
•Last Status Change—Date and time that the status of the link last changed.
•Status—Current status of the link. Possible values are:
–
Active (green ball)—The link is currently fully functional.
–
Blocked (red ball)—Traffic on this link is disabled by protocol.
–
Failed (red ball)—An error is preventing traffic from flowing on this
link, or the associated linkset has been set to Shutdown status.
A link can be Failed from an MTP3 perspective, but control messages
might still be sent or received on the link, resulting in changing
packet/second and bit/second rates. The rates might also be different at
each end of the link, depending on the reason for the failure and the
timing related to each endpoint.
–
InhibitLoc (blue ball)—A local ITP administrator has set the link to
prevent traffic from flowing.
–
InhibitRem (blue ball)—A remote ITP administrator has set the link to
prevent traffic from flowing.
