Field

Description

 

 

 

Next Hop Mac

In this screen Next Hop Mac Address displayed is in fact the resulting Mac

Address

Address of the ARP process for the destination IP address.

 

N/A: Indicates that a cross connection was made and this field is irrelevant.

 

FFFFFFFF:

Indicates an unreachable bundle.

 

 

 

Connectivity Status

Disabled:

Channel is disabled.

 

OK:

Indicates that Ethernet frames are received on the local and

 

remote IPmux-16.

 

OK-LOOP:

Indicates that a cross connection has been successfully made.

 

Remote Fail:

Ethernet frames are not received by the remote IPmux-16.

 

Local Fail:

Ethernet frames are not received by the local IPmux-16.

 

Disabled:

Connection is disabled.

 

 

Sequence Errors

The number of times a frame was dropped because frames were received from

 

the network with SN field not equal to the last SN + 1. This indicates a packet

 

loss or a certain level of packet misordering.

 

 

Jitter Buffer

The number of times frames were dropped because the receive buffer was in an

Underflows

underflow state. The buffer enters underflow state when:

Recurring or numerous sequence errors occur

Underflow takes place due to PDV expiration

An overflow condition occurs.

Jitter Buffer Overflows Number of times that frames were dropped because the receive buffer exceeded the maximum allowed depth.

Note For internal cross-connected bundles, the Next Hop MAC Address will be set to N/A, and the Connectivity Status will be OK – Loop to the cross-connected bundle.
