Name Description
DisplayFormat Identifies the slot and port numbers (slot/port). If the
port is channelized, the format also includes the sub-
port in the format slot/port/sub-port
AdminStatus Configures the port as enabled (up) or disabled
(down) or testing. The testing state indicates that no
operational packets can be passed.
OperStatus Displays the current status of the port. The status
includes enabled (up) or disabled (down) or testing.
The testing state indicates that no operational
packets can be passed.
ShutdownReason Indicates the reason for a port state change.
LastChange Displays the timestamp of the last change.
LinkTrap Enable or disable link trapping.
AutoNegotiate Enables or disables Autonegotiation for this port.
The default is enabled for VSP 8000 Series but
disabled for VSP 7200 Series.
Note:
The 10 GigabitEthernet fiber-based ports can
operate at either 1 Gigabit per second (Gbps) or
10 Gbps, dependent upon the capabilities of the
optical transceiver that you install.
This presents an ambiguity with respect to the
autonegotiation settings of the port, while 1
Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) ports require
autonegotiation; autonegotiation is not defined
and is non-existent for 10 GbE ports.
For a 10GbE fiber-based port, you have the
capability to swap back-and-forth between 1
GbE and 10 GbE operation by simply swapping
transceivers. To help with this transition
between 1 GbE and 10 GbE port operation,
Avaya allows you to configure autonegotiation
when you install a 10 GbE transceiver, even
though autonegotiation is not defined for
10GbE.
You can do this in anticipation of a port
changeover from 10 GbE to 1 GbE. In this
manner, you could essentially preconfigure a
port in 1 GbE mode while the 10 GbE
transceiver is still installed. The port is ready to
go upon the changeover to the 1 GbE
transceiver.
