# Physical

Port > Configure

Use the CiscoView Configure Port window to display some or all of the following information, depending upon the type of port selected:

Descriptor (entPhysicalDescr)

Textual description of the physical entity. This object should identify the manufacturer of the physical entity and be set to a distinct value for each version or model of the physical entity.

### Name (entPhysicalName)

Textual name of the physical entity. The value of this object should be the name of the component, as assigned by the local device, and be suitable for use in commands entered at the console of the device.

### Index (entPhysicalIndex)

Index value for the physical entity.

### Vendor Type (entPhysicalVendorType)

Vendor-specific hardware type of the physical entity.

Operational Status (ifOperStatus)

Current operational status of the port. There are seven possible values:

- up(1)—The interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic.
- down(2)—The interface is unable to transmit and receive network traffic.
- testing(3)—The interface is in test mode.
- unknown(4)—The status of the interface cannot be determined at the moment.
- dormant(5)—The interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incoming connection).
- notPresent(6)—The interface is missing components (typically hardware).
- lowerLayerDown(7)—The interface is down due to the current state of a lower-layer interface.

Port Speed and Duplex (Port Speed and Duplex)

Port's current operational speed (in megabits per second) and duplex mode.

The port's operational speed is determined by the combination of values set for ifMauDefaultType, ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus, and ifMauAutoNegCapAdvertisedBits. There are eight possible values:

- The value for this object is autodetect(1) when ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus is set to enabled (1).
- The value for this object is 10 Mbps-Half Duplex when:
  - ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus is set to disabled(2)
  - ifMauDefaultType is set to dot3MauType10BaseTHD
- The value for this object is 10 Mbps-Full Duplex when:
  - ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus is set to disabled(2)
  - ifMauDefaultType is set to dot3MauType10BaseTFD
- The value for this object is 100 Mbps-Half Duplex when:
  - ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus is set to disabled(2)
  - ifMauDefaultType is set to dot3MauType100BaseTXHD
- The value for this object is 100 Mbps-Full Duplex when:
  - ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus is set to disabled(2)
  - ifMauDefaultType is set to dot3MauType100BaseTXFD
- The value for this object is 1 Gbps-Half Duplex when:
  - ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus is set to disabled(2)
  - ifMauDefaultType is set to dot3MauType1000BaseXHD
- The value for this object is 1 Gbps-full Duplex when:
  - ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus is set to disabled(2)
  - ifMauDefaultType is set to dot3MauType1000BaseXFD
- The value for this object is 10 Gbps when:
  - ifMauAutoNegAdminStatus is set to disabled(2)
  - ifMauDefaultType is set to dot3MauType10GigBaseX

VLAN Number (vmVlan)

ID of the VLAN this port is assigned to when vmVlanType is set to either static or dynamic. Note the following:

- The value of this object is zero when the port is not assigned to a VLAN
- If vmVlanType is set to static, the port is always assigned to a VLAN and this object may not be set to zero.

VLAN Type (vmVlanType)

The type of VLAN membership assigned to this port.

- A port with static VLAN membership is assigned to a single VLAN directly.
- A port with dynamic membership is assigned to a single VLAN based on the content of packets received on the port and via VQP queries to VMPS.
- A port with multi-VLAN membership may be assigned to one or more VLANs directly.

Admin Mode (cL2L3IfModeAdmin)

The administratively desired interface mode

- routed
- switchport

VLAN Port Operational Status (vmPortStatus)

An indication of the current VLAN status of the port.

- Inactive(1) :indicates that a dynamic port does not yet have a VLAN assigned, or a port is assigned to a VLAN that is currently not active.
- Active(2) :indicates that the currently assigned VLAN is active.
- Shutdown(3) :indicates that the port has been disabled as a result of VQP shutdown response.

Voice Virtual VLAN ID (vlanPortAuxiliaryVlan)

The Voice Virtual ID (VVID) to which this port belongs.

Note: Voice Virtual VLAN ID applies only when there is a phone card present.

Valid MIB object settings (0, 1...1000, 1025...4094, 4095, 4096):

- 0, the CDP packets transmitting through this port would contain Appliance VLAN-ID TLV with a value of 0

- N (1...1000), the CDP packets transmitting through this port would contain Appliance VLAN-ID TLV with N

- N (1025...4094), the CDP packets transmitting through this port would contain Appliance VLAN-ID TLV with N [This feature is only supported for the Cat6000 with software image 6.1 or later]

- 4095, the CDP packets transmitting through this port would contain Appliance VLAN-ID TLV with a value of 4095

- 4096, the CDP packets transmitting through this port would not include Appliance VLAN-ID TLV

Port Jumbo Frame Status (portJumboFrameEnable)

Indicates the jumbo frame status of the port. When this object is enabled, the port supports frame sizes greater than the standard Ethernet frame size of 1,518 bytes.

Dot 1Q Tunnel (cltcDot1qTunnelMode)

Indicates whether dot1q tunnel mode is enabled on the interface. This object cannot be enabled when vlanTrunkPortsDot1qTag is set to "false".

Secondary VLAN (cpvlanPrivatePortSecondaryVlan)

The VLAN ID of the secondary VLAN configured on this private port.

Loop Guard (stpxLoopGuardConfigEnabled)

Indicates whether the LoopGuard capability on this port is enabled or not.

Note: LoopGuard cannot be enabled if Root Guard/STP Fast Start Mode is enabled. LoopGuard is valid for bridge ports only.
