Interface Summary

Interface
Displays the index value assigned to each port interface on the device.
Type
Displays the type of port interface.
Description
Displays a description of the port and the type of interface followed by the board and port number.
Physical Status
Displays the current operational state of the port interface:
  • On -- the operational status is up
  • Off -- the operational status is down
  • Dormant -- the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incoming connection)
  • Lower Layer Down -- the interface is down due to the state of lower-layer interface(s)
  • Not Present -- the interface has missing components (usually hardware)
  • Testing -- operational status testing; no operational packets can be passed
  • Unknown -- the device is returning the value Unknown or a value that the software does not recognize
Logical Status
Displays the current administrative state of the port interface: Up or Down.
Address
Displays the physical (MAC) address of the port interface.
Speed
Displays an estimate of the interface bandwidth in bits per second. For an interface that either does not vary in bandwidth or where an accurate estimation cannot be made, this field displays the lowest bandwidth available.
Statistics Button
Select the desired interface, and click Statistics to access the Interface Statistics window.
