Description

 

 

 

 

Port STA State

The state of the port in terms of the Spanning Tree

 

Protocol. The possible states are:

 

Disabled - The port is disabled.

 

Blocking - STP is enabled and currently

 

 

blocking the port. This means that the port is

 

 

effectively disabled to prevent the formation of a

 

 

loop in the network.

 

Forwarding - The port is currently forwarding

 

 

information received.

 

For more information refer to Spanning Tree

 

Algorithm (STA) on page 27 of The Reference Guide.

 

 

Port Type

The port type; optionally includes reference to the

 

module to which it is attached and port connector

 

type.

 

 

Position

The position of the main and backup agent (either

 

1 or 2) within the device.

 

 

Propagate Status

The state of status propagation on the port or

 

module. When enabled, the status of a port or

 

module is passed up one level.

 

For example, when the Propagate Status field of a

 

problematic port is enabled, the port’s icon as well

 

as the module that the port is located on appears

 

red. If Propagate Status is disabled, only the port

 

icon appears red.

 

The following colors indicate the status of the port

 

or module:

 

Red - Fatal

 

• Grey - Disabled (port only)

 

Yellow - Warning

 

Green - Okay

 

By default, status propagation is enabled for all

 

ports and modules.

 

 

S/W Port Redundancy

The state of the port redundancy function between

 

two ports. Possible states are on and off.

 

 

S/W Version

The version of the application software running on

 

the module or agent.
