The MultiSwitch 700 Device View

The backplane connections are indexed 1–5, where 1 indicates the connection to first slot in the chassis and 5 indicates the connection to the last slot.

Backplane View Bridge Display Form

When the Backplane View display form is in the default Bridge mode, each connection is represented by a color-coded text field as follows:

FWD (Green)

The interface is on-line and ready to forward packets

 

across the MultiSwitch 700 from one module to another.

DIS (Blue)

Bridging at the interface has been disabled by

 

management; no traffic can be received or forwarded on

 

this interface, including configuration information for

 

the bridged topology.

LIS (Magenta)

The interface is not adding information to the filtering

 

database. It is monitoring Bridge Protocol Data Unit

 

(BPDU) traffic while preparing to move to the

 

forwarding state.

LRN (Magenta)

The Forwarding database is being created, or the

 

Spanning Tree Algorithm is being executed because of a

 

network topology change. The interface is monitoring

 

network traffic, and learning network addresses.

BLK (Orange)

The interface is on-line, but filtering traffic from going

 

across the MultiSwitch 700 from one module to another.

 

Bridge topology information will be forwarded by the

 

interface.

BRK (Red)

The interface has malfunctioned.

Backplane View Interface Display Form

When the Backplane View is in Interface mode, each connection is represented by a color-coded text field that indicates a combination of the interface’s Administrative status, Operational status, and Link status.

The following status conditions are supported:

UNK (Gray)

NetSight Element Manager cannot determine the

 

backplane interface’s Administrative, Operational, or

 

Link status.

ON (Green)

The backplane interface is operational (up) and

 

administratively enabled. Link status is linked, or not

 

applicable to the interface.
