MMAC-Plus Management Views
3-6
The Chassis View
Client Modules
When Chassis View is selected, the Client Module portion of the window will
display the operational status of each installed module and its supported ports.
Chassis slots are indexed from 1 to 14 in the middle of the Chassis window. If a
module is installed, its slot index will be color-coded to reßect operational status,
a module description will appear above the index, and a color-coded port display
will appear (the color-coding will vary, depending on which type of module is
installed).
Note that modules are polled at an interval of 10 seconds for operational status
and conÞguration. At each interval, MMAC-Plus Remote Management attempts
to contact the chassis modules three times before indicating a failed connection.
Module Index Color Codes
If a module is installed, its index Þeld will be color-coded to reßect the operational
status of the installed module:
Green
The installed module is operational.
Red
The module is not operating, or has not responded to a management
poll within the number of retries.
Yellow
The module has experienced an alarm or trap condition, or it has
failed its power-up diagnostics test.
Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring Bridging Modules Port Display Color Codes
Port color-coding for Ethernet, FDDI, or Token Ring bridging modules indicates
the state of bridging across each interface supported by the module. Refer to the
individual MMAC-Plus Remote Management module manual for more
information on bridge operations.
Green
The port is on-line and forwarding packets across the module from
one network segment to another.
Red
The port has been disabled by management; no trafÞc can be received
or forwarded on this port.
Yellow
The Forwarding database is being created, or the Spanning Tree
Algorithm is being executed because of a network topology change.
The port is monitoring network trafÞc, and learning network
addresses.
Magenta
The port is not adding information to the Þltering database. It is
monitoring Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) trafÞc while preparing
to move to the forwarding state.
Blue
The port is on-line, but Þltering trafÞc from going across the module
from one network segment to another.
