Refer to the NetSight Element Manager User’s Guide for full information on setting device polling intervals.
Port Type
If you choose Port Type, each port status box will display that port’s topology status: station or trunk. A station port (displayed as STA) is one which has zero or one source addresses in its source address table; a trunk port (designated TRK) has two or more source addresses in its table. If a board does not support the Port Type option, its port status boxes will remain blank. For more information about the source address table, see Chapter 4, Source Address Functions.
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)
If you have selected the Admin/Link status mode, a port is considered:
•ON if the port is enabled and has a valid link.
•OFF if it has not been enabled or if it has been disabled through management action.
SEG (segmented) if the port has been enabled by management and has a valid connection, but has been segmented by the repeater because 33 consecutive collisions have occurred on the attached segment, or the collision detector was on for more than 2.4 µs.
