3.2 Viewing Switch Port Information
The Port screen displays configuration, runtime status, and statistics of the ports on the switch.
The port types are defined as follows:
The Port screen contains three tabs supporting the following port assessment activities:
• Viewing the Port Configuration
• Viewing the Ports Runtime Status
• Reviewing Port Statistics
3.2.1 Viewing the Port Configuration
The Configuration tab displays the current configuration for the switch ports. Use the port configuration
information to determine whether an existing port configuration can be used as is or requires modification
for use within the switch managed network.
To view configuration details for the uplink and downlink ports:
1. Select Switch > Ports from the main menu tree.
SWITCH NOTE: The ports available vary by switch platform.
RFS6000: ge1, ge2, ge3, ge4, ge5, ge6, ge7, ge8, me1, up1
RFS7000: ge1, ge2, ge3, ge4, me1
RFS4000: ge1, ge2, ge3, ge4, ge5, up1
GE# GE ports are available on the RFS6000 and RFS7000 platforms. GE ports on the
RFS4000 and RFS6000 are RJ-45 which support 10/100/1000Mbps. GE ports on
the RFS7000 can be RJ-45 or fiber ports which support 10/100/1000Mbps.
ME# ME ports are available on the RFS6000 and RFS7000 platforms. ME ports are out-
of-band management ports which can be used to manage the switch via CLI or
Web UI even when the other ports on the switch are unreachable.
UP# An UP port is available on the RFS4000 and RFS6000 platform only. This port is
used to connect the switch to the backbone network. The UP port on the switch
supports either RJ-45 or fiber. The UP port is the preferred way to connect to the
backbone as it has a non-blocking 1gbps connection unlike the ge ports.
