Admin Status: Down (
or
Testing)
In the device’s port, at the
MAIN
tab in the
Port Configuration
section, the Admin Status field displays
“Down”. Typically, if ‘Admin Status’ is Down, then ‘Link Status’ is also Down.
The status here is the desired state of the interface. The “Testing” status indicates that no operational
packets can be passed. When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with ‘Admin Status’ in the
Down state. As a result of either explicit management action or per configuration information retained
by the managed system, ‘Admin Status’ is then changed to either the Up or Testing states, or remains in
the Down state.
1.
Verify the initialization process; see “
Section 2: Installation and System Setup
”.
2.
Verify the attempted operation procedure in the related section of this manual.
3.
Retry the operation. Wait several minutes for initialization and discovery to take place.
4.
If the problem persists, contact Technical Support.
Link Status: Down (
or
Testing
or
Dormant,
or
NotPresent)
This is the current operational state of the interface.
The ‘Link Status’ Testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed.
If ‘Admin Status’ is Down then ‘Link Status’ likely will be Down.
If ‘Admin Status’ is changed to Up, then ‘Link Status’ should change to Up if the interface is ready to
transmit and receive network traffic.
‘Link Status’ should change to Dormant if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial
line waiting for an incoming connection);
‘Link Status’ should remain in the Down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to
the Up state;
‘Link Status’ should remain in the NotPresent state if the interface has missing (typically, hardware)
components.
Link Status:
Down
: The ION system interface is not ready to transmit and receive network traffic due a
fault.
1.
Review any specific fault and its recommended recovery procedure.
2.
Verify the initialization process; see “
Section 2: Installation and System Setup
“.
3.
Verify the attempted operation procedure in the related section of this manual.
4.
Retry the operation. Wait several minutes for initialization and discovery to take place.
5.
If the problem persists, contact Technical Support.
Link Status:
Dormant
: The ION system interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line
waiting for an incoming connection).
1.
Wait several minutes for initialization and discovery to take place, and then retry the operation.
2.
If the problem persists, contact Technical Support.
