T5 Interface Ethernet Status

About this task

T5 controller Ethernet ports can have be reviewed to assess link operational status, link speed and duplexing.

T5 controllers have the following Ethernet port designations:
  • T5- ge1-ge2, fe1-fe2 (for up to 24 CPE devices managed by a T5 controller).

To view T5 controller Ethernet port link status:

Procedure

  1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
  2. Select the Wireless Controller node from the left navigation pane and select a T5 controller from amongst those displayed.
  3. Select Interface from the left-hand side of the UI and expand it to display it sub menu items.
  4. Select Ethernet Ports.
  5. Select the Status tab.
    Review the following T5 controller Ethernet port status:
    Name Displays the name of the selected T5 controller's ge Ethernet port.
    Operational Status Lists whether each Ethernet port link is currently up or down as a T5 controller transmit and receive resource.
    Duplex Lists either half, full or automatic as the duplex. Half duplex sends data over the port, then immediately receive data from the same direction in which the data was transmitted. Like a full-duplex transmission, a half-duplex transmission can carry data in both directions, just not at the same time. Full duplex transmits data to and from the port at the same time. Using full duplex, the port can send data while receiving data as well. Automatic enables the controller to dynamically duplex as port performance needs dictate.
    Speed (MB) Speed (MB) Lists each port's current speed in MB.
    Pause Lists whether pause packet utilization is currently off or on for the port.
    Admin Status Displays
  6. Select Refresh to update the screen's statistics counters to their latest values.
