Chassis View

Introduction

The Chassis View is a graphical representation of the Cajun P120 Device.
The Chassis View shows all of the device’s ports, including ports on the
expansion module (when present). The color of the modules and ports in
the Chassis View reflects their status.

When viewing selected tables, the color of the port indicates the standing
of the port with regard to the application. For example: When creating a
Link Aggregation Group (LAG), ports that can be selected appear white in
the Chassis View. The port selected to be the base port appears dark blue.
The ports selected to be additional ports appear cyan.

The following table provides a list of the possible port colors in the Chassis
View and their meaning.

Table 1-1. Chassis View Port Colors

Color Meaning

Green The port is enabled, and its status is Okay.

Yellow The port is enabled, and its status is Warning.

Red The port is enabled, and its status is Fatal.

Light Gray The port is disabled.

Dark Gray The port is not associated with the selected VLAN.

The Get/Set Toolbar provides buttons for getting and setting configuration
parameters for selected ports.When a port is selected, its configuration is
reflected on the Get/Set Toolbar. Each group of buttons represents the
various possible states of a configuration parameter. For example: The first
group of buttons represents the possible speed of a port - 10 Mbps, 100
Mbps, or 1000 Mbps. If the center button is depressed, the port is
currently configured to operate at 100 Mbps.

Selected ports can be configured using the Get/Set Toolbar. To change the
configuration of a port, click the button representing the value of the
parameter you want to apply to the port. Click
with the changes. Click

Multiple ports can be simultaneously configured using the
Get/Set Toolbar. When multiple ports whose configurations are not
identical are selected, only the parameters whose settings are identical on
the selected ports are reflected in the Get/Set Toolbar. For example, if a
port operating at full duplex and a port operating at half duplex are
selected, neither of the duplex mode buttons on the Get/Set Toolbar are
depressed.

Overview of Port Redundancy

Port Redundancy enables you to define a redundancy relationship
between any two ports in a device. One port is defined as the primary
port and the other as the secondary port. In case the primary port link
fails, the secondary port will take over. This connection between the two
ports is called a Port Redundancy.

* Note:

Port Redundancy can not be used when Spanning Tree is
activated.

Field Description

Configuration Fields

Port Priority Level

Port STP State

The priority level of packets exiting the port or
ports on the module. For effective transmission,
multimedia packets must be received isochronously
(at regular intervals). To ensure this, you can assign
priorities to packets coming out of a port.

Whenever traffic load is extreme and a port cannot
accept all incoming packets, packets sent from a
port with the highest priority will pass through
first. However, a fairness mechanism will allow low
priority packets to eventually enter the bus.

Possible values are:

• Regular

High

•

The state of the port in terms of the Spanning Tree
Protocol. The possible states are:

•

Disable

•

Blocking

- The port is disabled.

- STP is enabled and currently
blocking the port. The port is effectively
disabled to prevent the formation of a loop in
the network.

•

Forwarding

- The port is currently

forwarding information received.

System Description

System Name

The port type; optionally includes reference to the
module to which it is attached and port connector
type.

The number of the VLAN of which the port or ports
assigned to a LAG is a member. Change the number
in this field to move the port to another VLAN.
Untagged frames use this VLAN number.

The version of the application software running on
the module.

The speed of communication of the selected port,
ports, or ports on the selected LAG. Possible values
are:

Ethernet

•

Fast Ethernet

•

• Gigabit Ethernet

- 10 Mbps.

- 100 Mbps.

- 1000 Mbps.

A description of the type of system being used.

Logical name of the system as defined on the SNMP
agent of the device.

Field Description

Tagging Mode

The port’s or LAG’s operation mode regarding
VLANs. The possible modes are:

Clear

•

- Transmits each outgoing packet in
untagged format if it belongs to the port’s
VLAN. Otherwise, it discards the packet.

IEEE-802.1Q

•

- VLAN tagging, per IEEE

802.1Q VLAN standard. The port will transmit
frames with a VLAN ID of 1 - 3071.
