The following lists tasks for displaying and configuring information about specific Catalyst 1600 ports.

Physical

Interface

Bridge

Source Routing

# Physical

Port>Configure>Physical

To see physical information for a port, select Physical from the CATEGORY popup menu in the CiscoView Configure Port window.

The CiscoView Configure Port window shows the following information:

Ring Status (RingswitchPortRingStatus)

This field shows the status of the ring to which this port is connected. Possible status values include normal, single, or beaconing.

Adapter Status (RingswitchPortAdapterStatus)

This field shows the status of the adapter used by this port. Possible status values include open, closed, or opening.

Media Type (RingswitchPortMediaType)

This field shows the media type of the port. Possible values include unknown, utp, or stp.

Mode (RingswitchPortIfMode)

This field shows the node or concentrator status of the port. Possible values include node or concentrator.

Ring Speed (RingswitchPortRingSpeed)

This field shows the speed of the ring to which this port is connected. Possible values include 4 or 16.

Status (portOperStatus)

The Status field displays the current operational status of the port. The possible values are ok, minor Fault, majorFault, and other.

Test Status (RingswitchPortTestState)

This field shows the result of the bridge test. Possible values include no-error, same-ring, duplicate-ring, fail-nb, bad-rnum, and fail-b.

Test Phase (RingswitchPortTestPhase)

This field shows the current phase of the bridge test. Possible values include not-running, same-ring, routed, broadcast, and success.

Address (RingswitchPortAddress)

This field shows the hard-wired address of the port.

Local Admin Address (RingswitchPortLAA)

This field shows the locally administered address of the port.

Station Type (RingswitchPortStationType)

This field shows the workstation-only status of the port. If this is limited, the port only has workstations on it, and broadcast frames receive on this port will not be transmitted on other limited ports. Possible values include anything or workstations.

# Source Routing

Port>Configure>Source Routing

To show source routing information for the selected port, select Source Routing from the CATEGORY popup menu in the CiscoView Configure Port window.

The CiscoView Configure Port window shows the following information:

Add Enable (dot1dStpPortEnable)

Use this menu to enable or disable Spanning Tree for a port.

Hop Count (dotdSrPortHopCount)

This field shows the maximum number of routing descriptors allowed in All Paths or Spanning Tree Explorer frames.

Local Segment (dotdSrPortLocalSegment)

This field shows the segment number that uniquely identifies the segment to which this port is connected. Current source routing protocols limit this value to be between 0 through 4095. (Zero is used by some management applications for special test cases.) The value 65535 signifies that no segment number is assigned to this port.

Bridge Number (dotdSrPortBridgeNum)

This field shows the bridge number that uniquely identifies a bridge when more than one bridge is used to span the same two segments. Current source routing protocols limit this value to be between 0 through 15. A value of 65535 signifies that no bridge number is assigned to this bridge.

Target Segment (dotdSrPortTargetSegment)

This field shows the segment number that corresponds to the target segment this port is considered to be connected to by the bridge. Current source routing protocols limit this value to be between 0 through 4095. (Zero is used by some management applications for special test cases.) The value 65535 signifies that no segment number is assigned to this port.

Largest Frame (dotdSrPortLargestFrame)

This field shows the maximum size of the INFO field (LLC and above) that this port can send or receive. It does not include any MAC-level (framing) octets.

STE Span Mode (dotdSrPortSTESpanMode)

The following values can be set for STE Span Mode to determine how this port will behave when presented with a Spanning Tree Explorer (STE) frame:

disabled

When you set STE Span Mode to disabled, the port will not accept or send Spanning Tree Explorer packets. Any STE packets received will be silently discarded.

forced

When you set STE Span Mode to forced, the port will always accept and propagate STE frames. This allows a manually configured Spanning Tree for this class of packet to be configured. Note that unlike transparent bridging, this is not catastrophic to the network if there are loops.

auto-span

The auto-span value can only be returned by a bridge that implements the Spanning Tree Protocol and has use of the protocol enabled on this port.

# Interface

Port>Configure>Interface

To display interface information for a port, from the CiscoView Configure Port window, select Interface from the CATEGORY popup menu.

The CiscoView Configure Port window displays the following information:

Name (ifName)

Name of the interface.

Index (ifIndex)

Unique numerical index value for the interface.

Speed (ifSpeed)

Estimate of current bandwidth in bits per second. If the value is constant or cannot be measured, nominal bandwidth is used.

Mtu (ifMtu)

Size (in bytes) of the largest protocol data unit that can be sent or received on the interface.

Physical Address (ifPhysAddress)

If applicable, a physical address such as an Ethernet MAC address, a phone number, or a Packet Data Net address. Where not relevant, a 0-length octet string is provided.

Admin Status (ifAdminStatus)

Chosen state for the interface. The possible values are up or down.

Operational Status (ifOperStatus)

Current actual operating state of the interface.

Last Change (ifLastChange)

Value of the sysUpTime (in hundredths of seconds) when the interface entered its current operational state (none if the current state was entered before last initialization of management entity).

Up/Down Traps (ifLinkUpDownTrapEnable)

Whether a trap is sent to the addresses in the Trap Receiver table every time the port state changes from up to down.

# Bridge

Port>Configure>Bridge

To display bridging information for a port, from the CiscoView Configure Port window, select Bridge from the CATEGORY popup menu.

The CiscoView Configure Port window displays the following information:

Circuit (dot1dBasePortCircuit)

Number of the circuit for a particular port and is used only when the interface includes multiple circuits, for example, an X.25 interface.

Priority (dot1dStpPortPriority)

Number that indicates the priority of the port.

State (dot1dStpPortState)

Current state of the port. The possible values are disabled, blocking, listening, learning, forwarding, or broken.

Cost (dot1dStpPortPathCost)

Contribution to the cost of paths through this port leading to the root.

Designated Root (dot1dStpPortDesignatedRoot)

Unique identifier of the root in the bridge PDUs transmitted by the designated bridge for this port's segment.

Designated Cost (dot1dStpPortDesignatedCost)

Path cost of the designated port of the segment connected to this port.

Designated Bridge (dot1dStpPortDesignatedBridge)

Identifier of the bridge that this port considers to be designated for this port’s segment.

Designated Port (dot1dStpPortDesignatedPort)

Identifier of the port on the designated bridge for this port segment.

Max Info field (dot1dTpPortMaxInfo)

Maximum size of the information field that this port will transmit or receive.
