BLK (Blocking) if the port is on-line, but filtering traffic from going across the DELHW-UA from one network segment to another. Bridge topology information will be forwarded by the port.

BRK (Broken) if the physical interface has malfunctioned.

UNK (Unknown) if the interface’s status cannot be determined.

If you have selected Bridge Mapping, the port status boxes will display the bridge interface index numbers assigned to each interface (which may or may not match the ifIndex values displayed via the I/F Mapping option described on page 2-84).

If you have selected the Admin status mode, a port is considered:

ON if the port is enabled by management and has a valid link.

OFF if it has not been enabled or if it has been disabled through management action.

If you have selected the Operator status mode, a port is considered:

ON if the port is currently forwarding packets.

OFF if the port is not currently forwarding packets.

Load

If you choose Load, the interface 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 per polling interval by devices connected to the port compared to the theoretical maximum load (10 or 100 Mbps) of an Ethernet network.

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.

NOTE

The polling interval is set using the Device Management page of the Options window, accessed via the Tools —>Options selection from the main menu bar. Refer to the User’s Guide for information on setting node polling intervals.

I/F Mapping

If you choose the I/F Mapping mode, the interface boxes will display the interface number (IfIndex) associated with each port on the DELHW-UA.
