Table 112: Port Summary Fields (continued)
Field
Description
Type
For most ports this field is blank. Otherwise, the possible values are:
•
Normal - The port is a normal port, which means it is not a
configured for port mirroring.
•
Trunk Member - The port is a member of a LAG.
•
Mirrored - Indicates that the port has been configured as a monitoring port
and is the source port in a port mirroring session. For more information
about port monitoring and probe ports, see
on page 130.
•
Probe - Indicates that the port has been configured as a monitoring port and
is the destination port in a port mirroring session. For more information
about port monitoring and probe ports, see
on page 130.
Admin Mode
Shows the port control administration state, which can be one of the following:
•
Enabled: The port can participate in the network (default).
•
Disabled: The port is administratively down and does not participate in the
network.
Physical Mode
Shows the speed and duplex mode at which the port is configured:
•
Auto: The duplex mode and speed will be set by the auto-negotiation
process. The port's maximum capability (full duplex and 100 Mbps) will be
advertised.
•
<Speed> Half Duplex: The port speeds available from the menu depend on
the platform on which the 200 Series software is running and which port you
select. In half-duplex mode, the transmissions are one-way. In other words,
the port does not send and receive traffic at the same time.
•
<Speed> Full Duplex: The port speeds available from the menu depend on
the platform on which the 200 Series software is running and which port you
select. In half-duplex mode, the transmissions are two-way. In other words,
the port can send and receive traffic at the same time.
Physical Status
Indicates the port speed and duplex mode at which the port is operating.
STP Mode
The
Administrative Mode associated with the port or LAG. STP is a Layer 2
protocol that provides a tree topology for switches on a bridged LAN. STP allows
a network to have redundant paths without the risk of network loops. by
providing a single path between end stations on a network. The possible values
for STP mode are:
•
Enable - Spanning tree is enabled for this port.
•
Disable - Spanning tree is disabled for this port.
LACP Mode
The
LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol)
administration state. The mode
must be enabled in order for the port to participate in Link Aggregation. This
field can have the following values:
•
Enable: Specifies that the port is allowed to participate in a port channel
(LAG), which is the default mode.
•
Disable: Specifies that the port cannot participate in a port channel (LAG).
•
N/A: For LAG ports.
Link Status
Whether the Link is up or down.
