Field Added to the
Interface Display
A new field,
State
, has been added to the interface display table,
allowing you to view the state of all interfaces configured for each
switching module in the system.
The interface state is determined based on the state of all ports
associated with the interface. For IP, the state displayed is either
Up
or
Down
:
■
The interface state is displayed as
Down
if no port in the defined
interface, including those in overlapping subnetworks, has established
link status. Link status is
not
established for FDDI DAS ports when
neither the A nor the B port has established link status.
■
The interface state is displayed as
Up
if one or more ports in the
defined interface, including those in overlapping subnetworks, have
established link status.
As the interface state changes, transitions are reflected in the
corresponding tables for all directly connected and associated routes.
For IP transitions, all routes that are associated with the interface time out
in the same manner as do learned routes that are not updated.
If link status is transitioned, previously defined configurations, such as
static routes, do not have to be redefined.
New System
Uptime Menu
A menu option was added so that you can display the time — in minutes,
hours, and days — since the last system reboot occurred.
To display system upTime, from the top level of the Administration
Console, enter
system upTime
