Link States

The state of the link between ELSM-enabled (peer) ports is known as the link state. The link state can be one of the following:
  • Ready—Indicates that the port is enabled but there is no physical link
  • Active—Indicates that the port is enabled and the physical link is up
View the state of the link between the peer ports using the commands:
show elsm ports all | port_list
show ports {port_list} information {detail}

If you use the show elsm ports all | port_list command, the Link State row displays link state information.

If you use the show ports {port_list} information command, the Link State column displays link state information.

If you use the show ports {port_list} information command and specify the detail option, the ELSM Link State row displays ELSM link state information. For more information, see ELSM Link States.

For more information about these show commands, see Displaying ELSM Information.
