The Port Configuration view provides the following information:
Administrative Status
This field allows you to enable and disable the port. A disabled port neither
transmits nor receives. Once disabled, a port must be explicitly enabled to
restore operation. A port which is already disabled when power is lost or when
a reset is exerted shall remain disabled when normal operation resumes.
The Administrative Status value takes precedence over Auto Partition and
functionally operates between the auto-partition mechanism and the AUI/
PMA.
Enabling the port sets it to notAutoPartitioned regardless of its pre-disabling
state.
Operational Status
Displays the port's operational state. Possible values are operational,
notOperational, and notPresent. The operational state indicates that the port
is enabled and working, even though it might be auto-partitioned. The
notPresent state indicates the port is physically removed (note this may or
may not be possible depending on the type of port.)
Auto Partition State
Indicates whether the port is currently partitioned by the repeater's auto-
partition protection.
The conditions that cause port partitioning are specified in the IEEE 802.3
Standard.
Last Source Address
Displays the Source Address of the last readable frame received. If there is no
data 0.0.0.0.0.0 is displayed.
Source Address Changes
This counter is incremented by one for each time the Last Source Address
attribute changes. This may indicate whether a link is connected to a single
DTE or another multi-user segment. The approximate minimum time for
rollover of this counter is 81 hours.
