This will usually be the number of ports on a module, card, or board. Port numbers correspond to the numbers marked on the physical entity. Card Test This field is used to test the operation of the card. Using the Multi Repeater Card Entry view to set this field to Test causes the card to perform a disruptive test.
Serial I/f Application Configuration Multi Repeater ID Displays the repeater for which this entry contains information. Slot Displays the card slot on which this port resides. Index Displays the index number for this service. Interface Displays the type of electrical interface made available for this port. It does not specify what the actual medium to the End Station is. Connector Displays the type of physical connector on the port. This is not the media.
Serial I/f Application Configuration Port Security Admin Allows you to enable or disable a port. Once disabled, a port must be explicitly enabled to restore operation. A port which is already set to be disabled when power is lost or when a reset is performed will remain disabled when normal operation resumes. This field takes precedence over Auto-Partition and functionally operates between the auto-partition mechanism and the AUI/ PMA.
Serial I/f Application Configuration Port Security Port Security Table This table displays the security status of each port. A port can have a number of authorized MAC addresses, which are displayed in the Port Address Table. Double-click any entry to edit information for that row. Slot Displays the unit on which a given port resides. Port Displays the number of the port in question. Mode Displays the learning and security modes of the port.

Serial I/f Application Configuration the other the standby port. One of these ports is enabled and is the current active port, the other is present in case the active port fails. The device detects a failure and switches ports. For a resilient pair definition to be valid both ports must be on the same repeater. Also, the standby port must be configured to be “disabled on boot”; that is, it must recover from a power failure in a disabled state to prevent loops in the network.
Serial I/f Application Configuration valid. When this field is Invalid, either not all of the information has been provided, or the resilient pair rules are no longer valid because of a change in the configuration of the device such a moving a card. Mod State Displays the Modification State of the resilient pair. You must set the Under Mod field in the Mrm Resilience Table Entry view to a value of Under-Mod before changing the configuration of a pair.
