FIGURE 26
Monitor - Management port realtime information
The realtime management port contains the following information.
Monitoring STP
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) eliminates Layer 2 loops in networks, by selectively blocking
some ports and allowing other ports to forward traffic, you can configure based on global (bridge)
and local (port) parameters. PowerConnect devices support standard STP as described in the IEEE
802.1D specification.
To view current STP information for a stack unit, select
Monitor > STP
. From the STP display, select
stack unit ID from the drop-down list, and click
Display
. The following information appears.
Status
The status of the port.
MAC Address
The MAC address of the port.
Actual Speed/Mode
Shows whether the actual speed matches the configured speed. If the configured
speed is set to Auto, then the speed is provided.
Connector
The physical type of connector.
