IPmux-8/16 Ver. 6.00 Monitoring IPmux-8/16 Performance 6-15
• For bundles cross-connected internally, the Next Hop MAC Address is set to
N/A, and the Connectivity Status is OK – loop to the cross-connected bundle.
• If Connectivity Status is Disabled, there is no value for Next Hop Mac Address.
• There is a set of counters for each bundle separately. The counters count errors
only when the bundle is active.
When a bundle changes state from active to stand-by, its “Redundancy Flips”
counter is increased. This is true also in 1:1 box redundancy, where the single
bundle in the box is “hushed” by the remote side.

Parameter Possible Values Description
Next Hop MAC
Address
N/A
FFFFFFFF
In this screen Next Hop Mac Address displayed is in fact the
resulting Mac Address of the ARP process for the destination IP
address.
Indicates that a cross connection was made and this field is
irrelevant.
Indicates an unreachable bundle
Connectivity Status O.K.
Ethernet frames are received on the local and remote
IPmux-8/16
OK-LOOP Cross-connection has been successfully made
Remote Fail
Ethernet frames are not received by the remote
IPmux-8/16.
Local Fail Ethernet frames are not received by the local
IPmux-8/16
Disabled Bundle connection is disabled
Validation Fail Configuration of the local and remote IPmux units are not
compatible
Unavailable Remote unit is not identified as an IPmux (available when the
OAM Connectivity is enabled)
Last Flip Cause Cause for the last bundle
redundancy flip
FarEnd TDM Status Status of the remote TDM port, to which the remote bundle
belongs. This parameter is relevant only for the new TDMoIP
format (V2).
O.K. Remote TDM port operates properly
Fail Remote TDM port failure is detected.
E1/T1 failures: loss of synchronization (red alarm), loss of
signal, AIS
CT3 failures: loss of frame, AIS, loss of signal at internal (T1) or
external (CT3) level
Unknown Status of the remote TDM port cannot be retrieved. This
occurs when the current bundle is in Local Fail status or it is
unavailable.
N/A The current bundle is configured to the old TDMoIP format
(V1)
