–
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.
–
Shutdown (blue ball)—An ITP administrator has set the link to prevent
traffic from flowing.
–
Unknown (red ball)—Either the node associated with this link has failed
to respond to an SNMP request, or SGM found that the link no longer
exists.
When you physically delete a link, the Status field displays Unknown
until you delete the link from the SGM database.
–
Warning (yellow ball)—The link is active and traffic is flowing, but one
or more of the following situations has occurred:
– The link is congested.
– The link has exceeded the defined Receive Utilization% or Send
Utilization %.
– One or more of the local or remote IP addresses defined for SCTP is
not active.
•Congestion Level—Indicates whether there is congestion on the link. A link
is congested if it has too many packets waiting to be sent. This condition
could be caused by the failure of an element in your network.
Possible values for the Congestion Level field are:
–
None—The link is not congested.
–
Low—The link is slightly congested.
–
High—The link is congested.
–
Very High—The link is very congested.
Low, High, and Very High correspond roughly to equivalent ANSI,
China standard, and ITU congestion levels.
•Receive Utilization—Indicates whether, on average, the link is under its
configured receive utilization threshold (UnderThreshold) or over the
threshold (OverThreshold).
