Displaying ML-Series POS Ports Provisioning Information on CTC
Note When set to auto-negotiate, the ML1000-2 might show Auto in the speed and duplex columns of the
Ether ports provisioning screen. This indicates that the ML1000-2 is set to auto-negotiate flow control
with the link partner. It does not mean the speed or duplex mode of the card will vary from the 1-Gbps,
full duplex characteristics of Gigabit Ethernet.
Displaying ML-Series POS Ports Provisioning Information on
CTC
The POS ports provisioning window (Figure 2-4) displays the provisioning status of the card’s POS
ports. Click the Provisioning > POS Ports tabs to display this window. For ML-Series cards, only the
POS Port Name field can be provisioned from CTC. The user must configure ML-Series ports through
the Cisco IOS CLI.
Figure 2-4 Displaying POS Port Provisioning Information
The Provisioning > POS Ports tab displays the following information:
• Port Name—Configurable identifier for the port.
• Admin State—Configured administrative port state, which is active or inactive. Possible values are
UP and DOWN. For the UP value to appear, a POS port must be both administratively active and
have a SONET/SDH circuit provisioned.
• Link State—Status between signalling points at port and attached device. Possible values are UP and
DOWN.
• MTU—(maximum transfer unit) Largest acceptable packet size configured for that port. Maximum
setting is 9000 and default size is 1500 for LEX encapsulation and 4470 for PPP and HDLC
encapsulation. The MTU value will display 0 until the POS port is used in creating a circuit.
