Interface
— The current interface type for a port or a LAG, for which interface parameters are
defined.
Interface Type
— Specifies the port’s maximum speed and the port media type, required for the
appropriate cable type connection. For example, 100M-Copper or 1000M-Fiber.
Admin Status
— Enables or disables traffic forwarding through the port. When
Up
is selected, the
traffic is forwarded through the port. When
Down
is selected, no traffic is forwarded through the
port.
Current Port Status
— Specifies whether the port is currently operational or non-operational.
Operational Status
— Indicates the port operational status. The possible field values are:
Suspended
— Indicates that the port is currently active, and it is currently not transmitting or
receiving traffic.
Active
— Indicates that the port is currently receiving and transmitting traffic.
Disable
— Indicates that the port is currently disabled and therefore, not receiving or
transmitting traffic.
Admin Speed
— The rate configured for the port. The port type determines what speed setting
options are available. Admin Speed can only be designated when auto negotiation is disabled on
the configured port.
