Physical Type
The interface type, which can be one of the following:
Normal—The port is a normal port, which means it is not a Link Aggregation Group
(LAG) member or configured for port mirroring. All ports are normal ports by default.
Trunk Member—The port is a member of a trunk.
Mirrored—The port is configured to mirror its traffic (ingress, egress, or both) to another
port (the probe port).
Probe—The port is configured to receive mirrored traffic from one or more source ports.
Port Status
The physical status (Link Up or Link Down) of the link at the port.
Physical Mode
Displays whether Auto negotiation is enabled or disabled on the port.
If the mode is Auto, the port's maximum capability are advertised, and the duplex mode and
speed are set from the auto-negotiation process. The physical mode for a trunk is “Trunk”.
Link Speed
The physical speed (Mbps) at which the port is operating. If no link is present, this field is empty.
MTU
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) specifies the largest frame size that can be
transmitted on the port. The default is 1518 bytes. If Jumbo Frames are enabled, the MTU
value is 9216 bytes.
