Editing port parameters

To view or change the general parameters of the port:

  1. On the device view, highlight a port.
  2. Choose Edit > Port.
  3. The Port dialog box opens with the Interface tab displayed.

The table below describes the fields in the Interface tab.


Item Description
Index
Unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges between 16 and 255.
Name
Displays the name of this port. To assign or change a name to the port, highlight the field and enter alphanumeric characters.
Descr
Displays the port type of this interface, which may be:
  • OC-3c MMF or SMF
  • OC-12c MMF or SMF
The card and port numbers are also shown.
Type
Displays the media type of this interface, which may be:
  • rcOc3cAtmSM
  • rcOc3cAtmMM
  • rcOc12cAtmSM
  • rcOc12cAtmMM
PhysAddress
MAC address assigned to a particular interface.
VendorDescr
Vendor description.
AdminStatus
Sets the port to either of the following states:
  • up
  • down
When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with AdminStatus in the down state. As a result of either management or configuration action, the AdminStatus is changed to the up state (or remains in the down state).
OperStatus
Displays the current operational state of the interface, either:
  • up
  • down
If AdminStatus is down, then OperStatus should be down. If AdminStatus is changed to up, then OperStatus should change to up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic. It should remain in the down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up state.
LastChange
Displays 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.
OperSpeed
Displays the current operating speed of the ATM port. For OC-3c, the operating speed is 155.52 Mb/s; for OC-12c, it is 622.08 Mb/s.
Action
Sets one of the following port-related actions:
  • none
  • flushMacFdb--flush MAC forwarding table for port
  • flushArp--flush ARP table for port
  • flushIp--flush IP route table for port
  • flushAll--flush all tables for port
  • triggerRipUpdate--manually update the RIP table
Result
Displays result from the last action
