Viewing Ethernet Port Information

Prerequisites

An Ethernet interface module has been properly installed on a controller.

Procedure

1. Log in to DeviceManager.
2. Choose System.
3. Click the controller enclosure where the Ethernet port resides.
4. Click to switch to the rear view.
5. Click the Ethernet port whose information you want to view.

   The Ethernet Port dialog box is displayed.

6. View the Ethernet port information.

   Table 7-2 describes Ethernet port parameters.

   GUIs may vary with product versions and models. The actual GUIs prevail.

   Table 7-2 Ethernet port parameters

   Parameter	Description	Value
   Name	Name of the Ethernet port.	[Example] P0
   Location	Location of the Ethernet port.	[Example] XXX0.A1.P0 or XXX0.A.IOM0.P1 NOTE: The displayed information is consistent with actual product specifications.
   Health Status	Health status of the Ethernet port.	[Example] Normal
   Running Status	Running status of the Ethernet port.	[Example] Link Up
   MAC Address	MAC address of the Ethernet port.	[Example] 90:17:ac:ba:86:b1
   IPv4 Address/Mask	IPv4 address of the Ethernet port and subnet mask of the Ethernet port's IPv4 address.	[Example] 192.168.1.100/255.255.255.0
   IPv6 Address/Prefix	IPv6 address of the Ethernet port and prefix length of the Ethernet port's IPv6 address	[Example] 21DA:D3:0:2F3B:2BB:FF:FE28:9C5B/64
   Working Rate (Gbit/s)	Data transfer rate of the Ethernet port.	[Example] 1
   Max. Working Rate (Gbit/s)	Maximum data transfer rate of the Ethernet port.	[Example] 1
   MTU (Byte)	Maximum size of a data packet that can be transferred between the Ethernet port and the application server.	[Example] 2500
   Work Mode	Working mode of the Ethernet port. NOTE: This parameter may be invalid for some interface modules. The forward error correction (FEC) technology is used. With this technology, a sender sends data with a certain redundancy error correction code, and a receiver performs error detection on the received data according to the redundancy error correction code. If an error is detected, the receiver can correct the error. The working mode varies according to the port type. The value can be Self-adaptive, RSFEC, NOFEC, or BASEFEC. When the working mode is set to Self-adaptive, it can automatically match the FEC mode of the peer network device (such as a NIC or switch). In this case, if the peer network device also has the self-adaptive capability enabled, the link negotiation time may be prolonged. When the working mode is set to RSFEC, NOFEC, or BASEFEC, ensure that it matches the FEC mode of the peer network device. Before setting the working mode, you are advised to confirm it by referring to the product documentation of the peer network device.	[Example] 10GE NOFEC
   Bond Name	Name of the bonded Ethernet port.	[Example] bond01
   Logical Type	Logical type of the Ethernet port.	[Example] Front-end port
   Port Switch	Switch of the Ethernet port. A port will be disconnected if the port switch is set to Disable.	[Example] Enabled
   iSCSI Target Name	Target name of the network where the Ethernet port resides.	[Example] iqn.2006-08.com.xxx:xxx:53000022a10b58b4::20100:192.168.100.11
   Initiators	Number of initiators connected to the port.	[Example] 1
