Interface Status ViewAccess: From Icon Subviews menu for the Interface icon in the Device view, select IF Status.

This view provides information on the operational status of the interface and allows you to enable or disable the ports.

Operational StatusThe current state of the interface (On, Off, or Testing).

Administrative StatusThis button allows you to select the desired operational state of the interface (On, Off, or Testing).

Port BroadCast ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Interface icon in the Device view, select Port Broadcast View.

This view provides the following information on alarms and thresholds for this port.

Storm ActionThis field indicates what action to take when the broadcast rising threshold for a port is reached. The default action is to stop Broadcast Forwarding for all broadcast frames received from the port, until the broadcast reception rate falls to or below the falling threshold. The other actions are to forward Broadcast as usual, or disable the receiving port.

Falling ThresholdThe broadcast falling threshold is measured in the number of broadcast frames received on a port in a second. When the threshold is crossed and the Storm Action was stopbrdcastfwrding then broadcast forwarding will be re-enabled on the port. For the other values of Storm Action, the crossing the falling threshold has no affect.

Rising ThresholdThe broadcast rising threshold is measured in the number of broadcast frames received on a port in a second. When the number of broadcast frames received per second on this port crosses this

threshold. The appropriate action as specified by the object in the Storm Action field will take place.

Flood Unknown MulticastsSet to true to allow for forwarding to this port of frames addressed to multicast addresses that have not been configured for the port. Set to false to filter and discard such frames.

Storm AlarmIndicates whether an alarm has been generated on this device.

Port Unknown UnicastControls the forwarding of unknown unicast frames to this port. When set to true the switch will, upon receiving a frame with an unknown unicast destination address from another port, transmit the frame to this port. When set to false, the switch will filter and not transmit said frames to this port. Default value is false for ports using the security or monitor application. Default is true for all other applications.

Port Monitor ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Interface icon in the Device view, select Port Monitor View.

This view provides details on ports that you may want to monitor, or stop monitoring.

Switch Port IndexUnique to this switch, this field gives you the port index number for this interface.

Remove Monitor DestAllows you to remove the switch port index of the port you no longer wish to monitor.

Add Monitor DestAllows you to enter the switch port index of the port you wish to monitor.

Monitored Port MapThis read-only field displays all of the ports that are monitored on this device.

D e v i c e V i e w P o r t B a n d w i d t h V i e w


Port Bandwidth ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Interface icon in the Device view, select Port Bandwidth View.

This view presents the following information about the usage of bandwidth, including a Peak Usage table, which is described below.

Current UsageThis field displays the current bandwidth consumed. The measurement unit is in megabits per second (1,000,000 bit/second). This value gives a reasonable estimate of the amount of traffic currently flowing through the switch. Table 3 details the calculations for this field.

Where:The Measurement Interval is the amount of time over which the Octets and Frames were collected, in seconds. Measurement Interval is always one second in current implementation.

Octet is the total number of octets transmitted or received by all network interfaces, excluding

framing data but including FCS. This includes octets in frames which were partially transmitted or received (i.e. due to collisions).

Frames is the total number of frames transmitted or received by all network interfaces, including frames with error.

The number of frames is multiplied by 96 plus 64 in order to estimate the delay between each frame for Ethernet’s IPG and preamble/SFD.

The 2 in the divisor makes this a forwarding bandwidth counter. A frame received on one interface is typically forwarded out another interface. In order to avoid double-counting this frame’s bandwidth, once on the receiving interface and once on the transmitting interface, the total bandwidth is divided by two. Since multicast and broadcast frames can be sent to multiple ports, the above is at best a lower bound.

Max Peak EntriesThe maximum number of entries allowed in the Peak Usage table.

Peak IntervalThis field specifies the length of time which forms a peak bandwidth measurement interval. Writing to this field with any new value restarts the peak bandwidth recording interval used by the Peak Usage table.

Table 3: Current Usage Formula

Octets * 8 + Frames(96+64)

Measurement Interval * 1,000,000 * 2

D e v i c e V i e w P o r t S t a t s V i e w


Peak RestartSet this field to true to clear the Peak Usage table and restart the peak bandwidth recording. No action will be taken if this field is set to false. This field returns false when read.

Current Peak EntryThis field shows a value identifying an instance of the Peak Index (Peak Usage table) where the peak bandwidth estimation is most recent.

Peak Usage TableThis table, within the Port Broadcast view, contains entries regarding peak bandwidth usages in a number of recording intervals. When this table is cleared, entries are added to the table. When the number of entries reaches the maximum found in the Max Peak entries field, the table will reset. Below are a list of the fields found in the Peak Usage table.

Peak IndexThis column displays a number from one up to the Max Peak entries field, identifying a particular Peak Usage entry. This field is a unique index value used only for the peak table.

Start TimeThe time that marks the start of this recording interval.

PeakThe maximum bandwidth usage of any measurement interval within this recording interval. This value is an estimate of the highest amount of traffic flowing through the switch during this recording level. For the calculation of this value, see Current Usage on Page 15.

Peak TimeThis field shows the start time of the measurement interval.

Port Stats ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu for the Interface icon in the Device view, select Port Stats View.

This view contains the following three graphs, which are used to provide port statistics.

• Errors• Received Frames Discarded• Non-Unicast Frames

ErrorsThis graph, in the Port Stats views, displays the following error statistics:

FCS ErrorThe total number of frames received with FCS errors and an integral number of bytes. Unlike

D e v i c e V i e w P o r t S t a t s V i e w


RFC1650’s Stats Errors, this field does not include frames that are less than the minimum packet size (such as collision fragments).

Bad FCS ValuesThe total number of frames whose lengths are less than 64 abd which gave bad FCS values. The preamble and the sfd fields are excluded from the byte count of a frame while the FCS field is included.

Received Frames DiscardedThis graph, in the Port Stats view, displays the following statistics for traveling packets that were either sent or received on this port:

No BandWidthA count of frames received on this port that were discarded due to the lack of bandwidth resources in the Catalyst Switch forwarding engine.

No BufferA count of buffered frames that were discarded due to a lack of frame buffer resources in the Catalyst Switch forwarding engine.

No Destination Unicast

A count of unicast frames received that were dis-carded, because the forwarding rule stipulates that they are not being forwarded.

No Destination MulticastA count of frames received that were discarded, because they have not been configured for the port.

Non-Unicast FramesThis graph, in the Port Stats view, displays the following statistics for non-unicast frames transmitted over this port:

Tx MulticastA count of frames that successfully transmitted and are directed to a multicast address.

Tx BroadcastA count of frames that successfully transmitted and are directed to the broadcast address.

Note:Note:

FCS or Frame Check Sequence is defined by Cisco as “extra characters added to a frame for error control purposes.” FCS works with HDLC, Frame Relay, and other data link protocols.

D e v i c e V i e w P o r t A d d r e s s V i e w


Interface IndexThe value of the instance of Interface Index field, defined in MIB-II, for the interface corresponding to this port.

Port Address ViewAccess: From the Icon Subviews menu, for the Interface icon, in the Device view, select Port Address View.

This view provides the following information about address forwarding, violations, and learnability for this port.

May Learn AddressesIndicates whether (true/false) the port is allowed to learn new addresses. Note that certain port configurations such as learning time limit, security usage, and some Spanning Tree Protocol states can temporarily prohibit the port learning.

Max AddressThe maximum number of secure addresses that can be learned on the port when it is a secure port.

Secure CurrentThe current number of statically assigned unicast addresses on the port.

Secure ViolationsThe number of times a source address was seen on this port which duplicates a secured address configured on another port, plus the number of times a secured address was seen on this port which does not match any addresses secured for the port.

Number of LearnedThe current number of dynamically learned addresses on the port.

Number of DroppedThe number of addresses that could not be learned or assigned for the port because its address table was full at one time or another.

Clear AddressesSet to true to delete all learned and assigned static unicast addresses the port currently has. Setting the field to false has no effect. This object always returns false when read.

Address Violation ActionIndicates what action to take when an address violation (address mismatch or duplication)

The following fields provide device-specific configuration information:

Board RevisionThis field allows the user to return the revision number of the main board on which the FastSwitch firmware resides.

Peak Buffers UsedThe maximum number of 64-byte buffers used in the main switch buffer pool.

Total Buffer DepthThis represents the total number of 64-byte buffers used in the Ethernet control.

Address CapacityThe system-wide maximum number of MAC addresses supported in the address table, a primary resource when forwarding frames through a bridge. The address table is dynamically updated with new learned addresses inserted and aged addresses removed. The address capacity represented by this object includes dynamic, secure, and static address types. To ensure optimal performance, the number of MAC addresses in the bridged local area network to which this bridge is connected should be less than the value of this field.

Restricted Static AddrThe system-wide number of static addresses supported. A static address is one that has explicit source port filtering information assigned.

Self Test FailedA bit array where the presence of a particular bit indicates a failure of a specific Power On Self Test.

Util Display The number of utilization meter LEDs currently lit on the front panel. LEDs are lit as more total bandwidth through the switch is utilized. If the number of this field is not four you will see a zero in the Visual Indicator Mode.

Visual Indicator ModeThe currently selected visual indication mode (see Table 5).

C o n f i g u r a t i o n V i e w s P o r t C o n f i g u r a t i o n V i e w


Number of InterfacesThe number of interfaces available from the module.

IndexThe numerical value identifying the port.

DescriptionA textual description of the port.

TypeThe type of hardware interface for the port.

BandwidthThe estimated bandwidth of the interface measured in bits per second. For interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth, or for which no accurate estimate can be made, a nominal bandwidth, is provided.

Physical AddressThe MAC address of the port.

Oper StatusThe current operational state of the port (Up, Down, or Testing).

Admin StatusThe administrative status for this interface. Possible states are: On, Off, and Testing.

Last ChangeThe value of sysUPTime at the time of the interface entered its core operational state. If the current state was entered prior to the last reinitialization of the local network management subsystem, then this object contains a zero value.

Queue LengthThe length of the outbound packet queue in packets.

Packet SizeThe largest Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) that can be transmitted or received by the port, measured in octets.

Port Configuration ViewAccess: From the Device Interface Icon Subviews menu, select Port Configuration.

This view displays the following port-specific MIB information for the module.

Group IndexApplies only when the corresponding Catalyst 29xx PortUsageApplication is port grouping. Ports assigned with the same value belong to the same connection channel.

C o n f i g u r a t i o n V i e w s P o r t C o n f i g u r a t i o n V i e w


May ForwardThis button reflects the internal state of the port with regard to its ability to forward frames. A port sometimes stops forwarding when it is blocked by the Spanning Tree Protocol, or while it is undergoing temporary load balancing as part of the port group usage. This object is true (forwarding) if the port is allowed to forward frames. It is false (unforwarding) otherwise.

Admin StatusDisplays the aging interval in milliseconds after which old frames queued for transmission on this part are discarded.

Linkbeat StatusDisplays the current linkbeat status which depends on the physical layer in use. This field will also tell you if the physical link between two devices is properly configured or not.

Test ResultIndicates if the port passed or failed the power self test.

Buffer Congestion ThresholdThe port buffer congestion threshold provides an early warning to the switch that the port is about to exhaust all its guaranteed buffers, leading to congestion. This threshold is expressed as a percentage of the port’s total guaranteed buffer

depth. Once this threshold has been crossed, the switch begins colliding with frames received on the port for a fixed period of time. After this time has expired, the switch determines whether the port’s buffer congestion has been alleviated. If this situation has not changed, the switch resumes this congestion control algorithm on the port.

Usage ApplicationIndicates how the port is to be used. These applications are defined such that they are mutually exclusive. In other words, a port using the security cannot use the monitoring application at the same time. The default usage is standard, or no special behavior (the port behaves as a normal switched port). The monitor usage provides network diagnosis by reflecting traffic on other ports to this port. The portGrouping application treats this and other ports in the same group as one (inter-switch) connection for more bandwidth potential.

Duplex StateIndicates the duplex modes supported by this port.

Duplex StatusThe administrative status requested by management for the duplex of this port. The value of halfduplex indicates that if Auto-Negotiation is

C o n f i g u r a t i o n V i e w s N e t w o r k / H o s t C o n f i g u r a t i o n V i e w


disabled for this port, that the port will operate in halfduplex mode. The same is true for fullduplex provided that the port supports these variables.

Admin SpeedIndicates the administrative status requested by management for the speed of this port. The value of tenmegabit(2) indicates that if the Auto-Negotiation is disabled for this port, that the port will operate at speed of 10 megabits per second. The value of hundredmegabit(3) indicates that the Auto-Negotiation will operate at 100 megabits per second. The gigabit(4) indicates that the Auto-Negotiation will operate at 1000 megabits per second.
