The Interface tab shows the basic configuration and status of a port.
To open the Interface tab:
Procedure steps
|
|
Step | Action |
---|---|
|
|
1 |
In the Device Physical Viewdouble-click the port. Multiple ports can be edited by selecting ports with the Control (CTRL) key depressed. |
2 |
From the Edit tree, double-click Chassis. |
3 |
From the Chassis tree, double-click Ports. |
4 |
Select the Interface tab. |
5 |
Click Apply after making any changes. |

The following table outlines the parameters for the Interface tab.
Variable definitions
Variable | Value |
---|---|
Index | A unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges between 1 and 128 standalone. On stack, the index value of the first port of the second unit is 129. The maximum value is 512. |
Name | Use this field to enter an optional name for the port. |
Descr | The type of switch and number of ports. |
Type | The media type of this interface. |
Mtu | The size of the largest packet, in octets, that can be sent or received on the interface. |
PhysAddress | The MAC address assigned to a particular interface. |
AdminStatus |
The current administrative state of the interface, which can be one of the following:
When a managed system is initialized, all interfaces start with AdminStatus in the down state. AdminStatus changes to the up state (or remains in the down state) as a result of either management action or the configuration information available to the managed system. |
OperStatus |
The current operational state of the interface, which can be one of the following:
If AdminStatus is up, then OperStatus is also up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic. If AdminStatus is down, then OperStatus is also down. It remains in the down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up state. The testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. |
LastChange | The value of sysUpTime at the time the interface entered its current operational state. If the current state was entered prior to the last reinitialization of the local network management subsystem, the value is zero. |
LinkTrap | Indicates whether linkUp/linkDown traps are generated for this interface. By default, this object has the value enabled for interfaces that do not operate on top of any other interface (as defined in the ifStackTable). |
AutoNegotiate | Indicates whether this port is enabled for autonegotiation or not. |
AdminDuplex | Sets the administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full). |
OperDuplex | Shows the current administrative duplex mode of the port (half or full). |
AdminSpeed | Set the port speed. |
OperSpeed | The current operating speed of the port. |
AutoNegotiation Capability |
Specifies the port speed and duplex capabilities that hardware can actually support on a port, and which can be advertised by the port using auto-negotiation. Bit 7 tells if a port supports pause frame capabilities (for full-duplex links) as a part of the advertisement. bit 0 - 10 half duplex advertisements bit 1 - 10 full duplex advertisements bit 2 - 100 half duplex advertisements bit 3 - 100 full duplex advertisements bit 4 - 1000 half duplex advertisements bit 5 - 1000 full duplex advertisements bit 6 - PAUSE frame support advertisements bit 7 - Asymmetric PAUSE frame support advertisements If auto-negotiation is not supported by the port hardware, then all bits reflect a value of zero. |
AutoNegotiation Advertisements |
Specifies the port speed and duplex abilities to be advertised during link negotiation.
The abilities specified in this object are only used when auto-negotiation is enabled on the port. If all bits in this object are disabled, and auto-negotiation is enabled on the port, then the physical link process on the port is disabled. |
WanMode | Set the area network type for a 10 GE port.
|
MltId | The multilink trunk to which the port is assigned (if any). |
IsPortShared | Displays if the selected port is a shared port or not. |
PortActive Component |
Displays the active component of shared ports. |
