LLDP Table
The LLDP Table displays the following information:
Parameter
Description
Port
The port number that connects to the neighbor device.
Neighbor ID
A unique entity (typically the MAC address) that identifies a neighbor device.
Neighbor Port
The port number of the neighbor device.
Neighbor Port Description
A textual description of the neighbor device’s interface.
Neighbor System
Hostname of the neighbor device.
Ping
The
Ping
function uses the
ping
command to give users a simple but powerful tool for troubleshooting network
problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the ping command is entered from the user’s
PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from the Moxa PRP/HSR RedBox itself. In this way, the user
can essentially sit on top of the Moxa PRP/HSR RedBox and send ping commands out through its ports.
To use the Ping function, type in the desired IP address, and then press
Enter
from the Console utility, or click
Ping
when using the Web Browser interface.
Port Mirror
The
Port Mirror
function can be used to monitor data being transmitted through a specific port. This is done
by setting up another port (the mirror port) to receive the same data being transmitted from, or both to and
from, the port under observation. Using a mirror port allows the network administrator to
sniff
the observed
port to keep tabs on network activity.
