Checking Device Status

The Device Status window provides a host of important data to ensure the ANG-1000 is connected properly and to permit troubleshooting as problems occur. When consulting Enterasys Customer Support, you will be asked to display this window.

The following categories are detailed in the Device Status window:

HVersion lists the Release, Patch and Build numbers, and internal name of the ANG-1000’s firmware.

HCPU itemizes Motorola Coldfire chip specifications.

HMemory enumerates ANG-1000 memory values including Total, Used, Free, Shared, Cached, Buffered and Swapped bytes.

HInterface Configuration describes Trusted (eth0), External (eth1), IPsec (eth1:0-24), PPTP (ppp0-24) and Local Loopback (lo) port data including IP and MAC addresses, netmasks, Receive and Transmit errors and other information. Note that the ppp0 interface is the Internet, not WAN interface, if the Internet is configured for PPPoE.

HNetwork Devices tabulates interface Receive and Transmit errors.

HRoute Table entries detail connected networks, gateways, their associated IP addresses, netmasks and other data.

HInterrupts lists the hardware interrupts supported on the ANG-1000 as well as their vectors and interrupt counters. The two SMC9194 items listed are the Ethernet Trusted and External port interrupts.

HSystem Log categorizes ANG-1000 functions/malfunctions including routing connections/disconnections.
