position when the ports are viewed from the switch’s front panel. The
definitions assigned to the example are:
• E – E_Port is an interswitch expansion port, used to connect to an
E_Port of another switch to build a larger switch Fabric.
• F – F_Port, the Fabric access port is used to connect an N_Port and
is used within the switch Fabric for control and management.
• L – FL_Port is a switch port connected to an arbitrated loop.
• G – G_Port is a generic port that can operate either as an E_Port or
an F_Port but has not yet assumed a specific function in the
Fabric.
• U – U_Port
• N – N_Port is used within the switch itself for internal switch
control traffic. It does not have an external physical port.
• x – Indicates no interface module is installed.
Module Type Pressing <Enter> while
Module Type is selected, displays:
This display shows the type of GBIC module installed in a port as
follows:
• L = long-wavelength
• S = short-wavelength
Port Throughput Pressing <Enter> while
Port Throughput is selected, displays:
This display shows port throughput on the switch. The throughput
number represents the number of bytes received plus the number of
bytes transmitted per second and is displayed as bytes/second (B/s),
kilobytes/second (KB/s) or megabytes/second (MB/s). You can
select different ports using <Up> and <Down>, from port 0 to port 15
and all ports, and is used to monitor a single or the aggregated of all
port(s) performance.
