The following information brießy explains each Switch ConÞguration Screen
Þeld.
Switch Address
(Read-Only)
Displays the MAC address of the switch.
Number of Ports
(Read-Only)
Displays the total number of switched ports on the module.
Type of STA
(Selectable)
Allows you to set the method that switches use to decide which switch is the

Tree Algorithm). Valid entries include IEEE, DEC, and NONE.
Port #
(Read-Only)
Lists each switch port on the module.
MAC Address
(Read-Only)
Displays the hardware address assigned to each listed port.
State
(Read-Only)
Displays the current state of each listed interface. The possible interface states

Blocking
In the Blocking state, an interface is not forwarding trafÞc.
TrafÞc that is received is discarded.
Station location information is not added to the Filtering Database.
The Blocking state can be entered from the Listening, Learning, or

The port numbering for Table 1 is MIB II interface numbering.
The port numbering for the Switch ConÞguration Screen is 802.1D Bridge Port
numbering.
- Port 1 corresponds to the INB.
- Ports 2 & 3 correspond to HSIM1.
- Ports 4 & 5 correspond to HSIM2.
