Serial I/f Application Configuration
Multi Repeater
Port Capacity
Displays the number of ports that can be contained within the group. This
ranges from 1 to 1024. 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. The result of this test, either Passed or Failed, is displayed
upon completion of the test.
Disable On Boot Ports
Displays the ports to be disabled on power up or reset. They are determined
from a hardware strap that can not be changed via software. The value in the
field is a mask containing a single bit for each portion the card. Port 1 is
represented by bit 0 and so on. Ports represented by a zero bit are disabled.
This is useful for setting up resilient pairs.
MDI Enable
Displays either MDIEnabled or MDIDisabled. 10Base-T line cards are usually
configured as MDI Disabled to link to an external network device (internal
crossover). Port 1 may be configured MDI Enabled to link to another 10Base-T
card with no internal crossover.
Multi Repeater Port Configuration View
This view contains the Port Info Table and the Port Config Table. Access this
view by double-clicking the ID or Slot fields in the Card Table from the Multi

Port Info Table
This table contains the following:
NOTE
ECS line cards show a value of Unknown because the configuration can not
be accessed via the management interface.
NOTES
Double-clicking an entry in either view displays the Multi Repeater Port
Entry view.
In order for Port Resolution to work during AutoDiscovery, the EST filter, if
present, should be set to Forward MAC or Forward ALL on all ports you want
port resolution for.
