CrossFire 8650/8651 UEM Guide to Operation, DOC-7090 v. 1.0

4. Statistics

Spd

The connect speed in Mbps, which is always displayed as 100 for HSTR virtual 
ports. Note that 100 Mbps full-duplex is the total bandwidth available on an HSTR 
port and is shared by all the virtual ports on that port. The actual bandwidth on a 
particular virtual port thus depends on the amount of traffic on other virtual ports.

Oper Mode

The operation mode is always displayed as HSTR VLAN for virtual ports.

Fwd Mode

The forwarding mode is always displayed as 

Store-Fwd

, because the modules 

always operate in store-and-forward switching mode.
