Interface Field Descriptions
Use the data in the following table to use the Interface tab.
Name |
Description |
---|---|
Index |
Displays the index of the port, written in the slot/port[/sub-port] format. |
Name |
Configures the name of the port. |
Descr |
Displays the description of the port. A textual string containing information about the interface. |
Type |
Displays the type of connector plugged in the port. |
Mtu |
Displays the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) for the port. The size of the largest datagram which can be sent or received on the interface, specified in octets. For interfaces that are used for transmitting network datagrams, this is the size of the largest network datagram that can be sent on the interface. |
PhysAddress |
Displays the physical address of the port. The address of the interface at the protocol layer immediately `below' the network layer in the protocol stack. For interfaces which do not have such an address, for example, a serial line, this object should contain an octet string of zero length. |
VendorDescr |
Displays the vendor of the connector plugged in the port. |
DisplayFormat |
Identifies the slot and port numbers (slot/port). If the port is channelized, the format also includes the sub-port in the format slot/port/sub-port |
AdminStatus |
Configures the port as enabled (up) or disabled (down) or testing. The testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. |
OperStatus |
Displays the current status of the port. The status includes enabled (up) or disabled (down) or testing. The testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. |
LicenseControlStatus Note:
Exception: only supported on VSP 7200 Series. |
Shows the port license status. |
ShutdownReason |
Indicates the reason for a port state change. |
LastChange |
Displays the timestamp of the last change. |
LinkTrap |
Enable or disable link trapping. |
AutoNegotiate |
Enables or disables Auto-Negotiation for this port. The default Auto-Negotiation behavior depends on the switch model and transceiver type. |
AutoNegAd |
Specifies the port speed and duplex abilities to advertise during link negotiation. Supported speeds and duplex modes vary, depending on your hardware. The abilities specified in this object are only used when auto-negotiation is enabled on the port. If all bits in this object are disabled, and auto-negotiation is enabled on the port, then the physical link process on the port will be disabled (if hardware supports this ability). Any change to this configuration restarts the auto-negotiation process, which has the same effect as physically unplugging and reattaching the cable attached to the port. If you select default, all capabilities supported by the hardware are advertised. |
AdminDuplex |
Configures the administrative duplex setting for the port. |
OperDuplex |
Indicates the operational duplex setting for the port. |
AdminSpeed |
Configures the administrative speed for the port. Important:
If Auto-Negotiation is disabled and you change the administrative speed on a port that results in a configuration mismatch in speed between two ports, VSP 4450 Series and VSP 4900 Series switches can show an incorrect operational status of "up" for the mismatched ports. |
OperSpeed |
Indicates the operational speed for the port. |
QoSLevel |
Selects the Quality of Service (QoS) level for this port. The default is level1. |
DiffServ |
Enables the Differentiated Service feature for this port. The default is disabled. |
Layer3Trust |
Configures if the system should trust Layer 3 packets coming from access links or core links only. The default is core. |
Layer2Override8021p |
Specifies whether Layer 2 802.1p override is enabled (selected) or disabled (cleared) on the port. The default is disabled (clear). |
MltId |
Shows the MLT ID associated with this port. The default is 0. |
Locked |
Shows if the port is locked. The default is unlocked. |
UnknownMacDiscard |
Discards packets that have an unknown source MAC address, and prevents other ports from sending packets with that same MAC address as the destination MAC address. The default is disabled. |
DirectBroadcastEnable |
Specifies if this interface forwards direct broadcast traffic. |
OperRouting |
Shows the routing status of the port. |
HighSecureEnable |
Enables or disables the high secure feature for this port. |
RmonEnable |
Enables or disables Remote Monitoring (RMON) on the interface. The default is disabled. |
FlexUniEnable |
Enables Flex UNI on the port. The default is disabled. |
IngressRateLimit
Note:
Exception: not supported on VSP 4450 Series, VSP 7400 Series, or VSP 8600 Series. |
Limits the traffic rate that the specific ingress port accepts. |
IngressRatePeak |
Configures the peak rate in Kbps. The default is 0. |
IngressRateSvc |
Configures the service rate in Kbps. The default is 0. |
EgressRateLimitState |
Enables or disables egress port-based shaping to bind the maximum rate at which traffic leaves the port. The default is disabled. |
EgressRateLimit
Note:
Exception: not supported on VSP 7400 Series, VSP 8600 Series, or XA1400 Series. |
Specifies the egress rate limit in Kbps. Different hardware platforms support different egress rate limits, depending on the port with the highest speed available on the platform. You cannot configure the egress shaper rate to exceed the port capability. If you configure this value to 0, shaping is disabled on the port. |
TxFlowControl
Note:
Exception: not supported on VSP 8600 Series |
Configures if the port sends pause frames. By default, an interface does not send pause frames. You must also enable the flow control feature globally before an interface can send pause frames. |
TxFlowControlOperState |
Shows the operational state of flow control. |
BpduGuardTimerCount |
Shows the time, starting at 0, since the port became disabled. When the BpduGuardTimerCount reaches the BpduGuardTimeout value, the port is enabled. Displays in 1/100 seconds. |
BpduGuardTimeout |
Specifies the value to use for port-state recovery. After a BPDU guard disables a port, the port remains in the disabled state until this timer expires. The default is 120 seconds. If you configure the value to 0, the expiry is infinity. |
BpduGuardAdminEnabled |
Enables BPDU Guard on the port. The default is disabled. |
ForwardErrorCorrection |
Configures one of the following options for Forward Error Correction (FEC) on the port:
The disable option disables this configuration on the port. |
ForwardErrorCorrectionApplicability |
Displays whether FEC is applicable on the interface. |
OperAutoNegotiate |
Shows the operational state of Auto-Negotiation. |
OperForwardErrorCorrection |
Shows the negotiated operational FEC clause. If the value is off, the port supports FEC and is up but not configured for FEC. If the value is notApplicable, the port does not support FEC. If the value is unknown, the port supports FEC but is down. |
IsPortShared |
Indicates whether the port is combo or not.
|
PortActiveComponent |
Specifies whether the copper port is active or fabric port is active if port is a combo port.
|

Enables or disables Auto-sense on the specific port. The default value is disabled for existing configurations but enabled for new Zero Touch Fabric Configuration deployments. |
AutoSenseKeepAutoConfig Note:
Exception: not supported on VSP 8600 Series and XA1400 Series. |
Retains the Auto-sense configuration if you disable Auto-sense on the port. The dynamic configuration becomes a manual configuration and is visible in the show running-config output. |
CustomAutoNegAdOrigin |
Specifies the origin of Custom Auto Negotiation Advertisements (CANA) configuration on the port. The supported values are:
|
BpduGuardOrigin |
Specifies the origin of BPDU Guard configuration on the port. The supported values are:
|
