2. From the Icon Subviews menu, select IF Conﬁguration. The Interface Conﬁguration view provides the following information:

Operation Status

Displays the status of the module. Possible values are operational, notoperational and unknown.

Admin. Status

Provides a menu button to set the Administrative status of the port. Once disabled, a port must be explicitly enabled to restore operation. A port that is already disabled when power is lost or when a reset is exerted will remain disabled when normal operation resumes. Possible values are On, Off, and Testing.

Last Change

Displays the system uptime at which the interface entered its current operational state. A value of zero indicates that the status has not changed since the agent was last restarted.

Network Name/Address

Displays the network name and the address at which it appears.

Physical Address

Displays the physical (MAC) address of the interface or port.

Bandwidth

Displays the interface bandwidth in bits per second. For interfaces that do not vary in bandwidth or for which no accurate estimate can be made, this will be the nominal bandwidth.

Packet Size

Displays the largest Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) that can be transmitted or recieved by the port, measured in octets.

Queue Length

Displays the length of the outbound packet queue in packets.

Port Conﬁguration View

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. 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). Possible values are operational, notOperational, and notPresent.

Auto Partition State

Indicates whether the port is currently partitioned by the repeater's autopartition 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.

{d “%w- %d %m-, %Y - %T”} A 3Com Hub, {t} (name {m}) has reported that a sytem load request has failed. The reason was {T slstat 1}. (event [{e}])

CsPCause/Prob00ea0018

When a system load is requested, a response is returned immediately and the load proceeds in the background. If an error is detected this trap is generated indicating the reason why in the status, as follows:

(1) ﬁle not found; (2) access violation; (4) illegal TFTP operation; (5) unknown transfer ID; (7) no such user; (8) no response from the load server; (9) the download could not be started

because of a lack of resources;

(10) the length of a record differs from

that implied by the value of the record

length ﬁeld; (11) the record type is not recognised; (12) record checksum error; (13) the device type in the ﬁle is incorrect; (14) the software image is not suitable for

this version of the hardware; (15) the ﬁrst record in the ﬁle was not a

ﬁle header; (16) The byte count reported in the ﬁle

trailer record differed from the

number of bytes actually received.

When loading a new image into the device containing the agent itself, the agent ﬁrst reads the beginning of the image ﬁle to test if it is accessible and contains a valid image. If there is anything wrong, this trap is generated, no download is performed and the device continues to run uninterrupted. If this check is successful the download proper is begun. Should that fail, it is simply retried continuously until either an attempt succeeds or the device is reset.

Interface Extensions Application

IP Address

Displays the IP address for this interface.

This parameter can be changed to a new IP; however, changing this parameter by itself has no effect on the IP stack conﬁguration and this value will not automatically be stored for the next restart.

The correct sequence is to make any changes, then Apply Changes. When Apply Changes is set to 'apply', the IP stack will store the changes permanently and will restart the stack.

Netmask

Displays the subnet mask for this interface. See the description of IP Address for a more information.

Default Router

Displays the IP address of the default router used by this interface. See the description of IP Address for a more information.

Apply Changes

This causes changes to the IP conﬁguration of the device to be made permanent, reconﬁgures the stack to use the parameters, and optionally restarts the stack using these parameters. Store And Apply will store changes in non-volatile memory and reconﬁgure the stack to use those parameters.

Applying the new parameters may cause the device to reset. In this case there will be a delay of a few seconds before the new conﬁguration is adopted, which will allow the SNMP response to the set request to be returned.

The correct procedure when changing IP conﬁguration is to set all individual parameters and then apply changes. If the device resets before a Store And Apply is done, it will loose the changes.

Possible values are Not Applicable and Store And Apply.

Enable IPX

Displays whether IPX is enabled or not. Possible values are Not Available, Enable, and Disable.

Mrm Resilience Table

A device can be conﬁgured to have a number of “resilient pairs” 802.3 Point-toPoint connections; for example, UTP, which allows two repeaters to be connected in a resilient conﬁguration. In such a pair, one port is the main port, 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.

This table allows creation and deletion or resilient pairs and provides status control and information. The entries are indexed on the repeater number and slot/port location of the main port.
