The SmartSwitch 2000 Chassis View
2-12 Viewing Chassis Information
Errors
If you choose the Errors mode, the interface boxes will display the percentage of
the total number of valid packets processed by each port during the last polling
interval that were error packets. This percentage reflects the number of errors
generated during the last polling interval by devices connected to that port
compared to the total number of valid packets processed by the port.
I/F Mapping
If you choose the I/F Mapping mode, the interface boxes will display the interface
number (ifIndex) associated with each port in the SmartSwitch 2000.
I/F Speed
If you choose the I/F Speed mode, the interface boxes will display the bandwidth
of each individual port on the SmartSwitch 2000: 10M (megabits) for standard
Ethernet; 100M for Fast Ethernet, 155.5 M for ATM; and 1.00 G for Gigabit
Ethernet.
I/F Type
If you choose the I/F Type mode, the interface boxes will display the interface
type of each port on the SmartSwitch 2000, e.g., Eth (ethernet-csmacd), ATM, or
FDDI. Note that there is no type distinction between standard Ethernet, Fast
Ethernet, and Gigabit Ethernet.
Port status view options for an Ethernet MicroLAN Switch are:
Load
If you choose Load, the port text boxes will display the percentage of network
load processed by each port during the last polling interval. This percentage
reflects the network load generated by devices connected to the port compared to
the theoretical maximum load (10, 100, 155.5, or 1000 Mbps) of the connected
network.
Status
You can view three status categories for your ports which reflect six possible
Admin/Link, Admin, or Link Status conditions:
•Admin/Link — ON, OFF, SEG (segmented), or NLK (not linked)
•Admin — ON or OFF
•Link — LNK (link), NLK (not linked), or N/A (not available)
NOTES
In NetSight Element Manager, the polling interval is set using the Opti ons window,
accessed via the Tools—>Options option from the primary window’s menu bar. Refer to
the User’s Guide for information on setting device polling intervals.
