	BOTH_SR_AND_TB, and the Ethernet port successfully initialized.

The statistics screen displays information on both the Transparent Bridging operation and the Source Route Bridging operation on the WAN link. If the node is booted with only one port configured or active, then the statistics screen displays TB Active or SR Active only.
