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.
Op er a tion a l Sta tu s
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.
Au to Pa r tition Sta te
Indicates whether the port is currently partitioned by the repeater's auto-
partition protection.
The conditions that cause port partitioning are specified in the IEEE 802.3
Standard.
La st Sou r ce Ad d r ess
Displays the Source Address of the last readable frame received. If there is no
data 0.0.0.0.0.0 is displayed.
Sou r ce Ad d r ess Ch a n ges
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.

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.

SNMP -Rep ea ter Con figu r a tion View
This view contains the following buttons and fields:
Reset
Allows you to reset the repeater. Resetting does not affect the management
counters or the Administrative State, but it does cause a disruptive Self-Test.
As a result of this action a Reset trap may be sent. This action may result in
the loss of packets. Possible values are noReset and reset.
Non Disr u p t Test
Selecting selfTest performs an agent-specific, non-disruptive self-test. After
performing this test the agent will update the repeater health information. If
a change in the repeater health has occurred, the agent will send a trap.
Possible values are noSelfTest and selfTest.
Op er a tion a l Sta tu s
Displays the operational state of the repeater. In the case of multiple kinds of
failures (for example, a repeater failure and a port failure), this value will
reflect the highest priority failure.

RF C1516 Exten sion s Ta ble
This table contains the following fields:
In d ex
Displays the specific port within the stack in the format “module.port”.
Pa r t Even
Displays whether an RMON event is generated when the port partition state
changes. If no event is generated, this will be zero. The default value will be
zero for point-to-point fiber and copper links like UTP, 10BaseF, etc. For multi-
drop links, this will default to sending a trap and logging an event in the
RMON log table.
Lin k Sta te Even t
Displays the RMON event generated when the link signal is lost for this port.
If no event is required, this object will be zero. The default value is zero.
Mod u le
This attribute indicates whether the port is a modular port or not. Possible
values are Unknown, Modular Port, and Not Modular Port.
F u n ction
Displays the function of the port. Possible values are Unknown, Repeater, and
Bridge.
Rep ea ter Nu m
Displays the repeater to which this port is connected in a multiple repeater
system. Setting this to a value that is illegal for a particular repeater will
result in an error code being returned. By default each port is connected to a
default repeater.
Each repeater in the stack is represented in the system by an entry in the
interface table. To switch a repeater port between different repeaters, change
the value of the interface index to the new value. An error is returned if the
value cannot be used; for example, using an index number that does not
represent a repeater, or attempting to connect to a repeater that is not in the
same unit.

IP Ad d r ess
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.
NOTE
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.
Netm a sk
Displays the subnet mask for this interface. See the description of IP Address
for a more information.

Ap p ly Ch a n ges
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.
En a ble IP X
Displays whether IPX is enabled or not.
Possible values are Not Available, Enable, and Disable.

This view contains the following security information:
Por t Secu r ity Ta ble
This table displays the security status of each port. A port can have a number
of authorized MAC addresses, which are displayed in the Port Address Table.
Double-click any entry to edit information for that row.

Por t
Displays the number of the port in question.
Mod e
Displays the learning and security modes of the port. Possible values are No
Restrictions, Continuous Learning, Auto Learn, and Secure. No Restrictions
disables all learning and security. Continuous Learning means that addresses
are learned continually. If more addresses are learned than are permitted on
the port, the older entries will be aged out. Auto Learn deletes all addresses
for this port, learns addresses up to the number permitted, then sets Port
Mode to secure. Secure disables learning.
When in a learning mode, Num Addr displays the maximum number of
addresses that can be learned on the port. This can be set by the user.
A trap is sent whenever a station has been learned, and a different trap is

Mrm Resilience Application
Mr m Resilien ce Ap p lica tion
This application provides access to the Mrm Resilience Table view. The model
for this application is 3Com m r m ResAp p .
Mr m Resilien ce View
This view contains the Mrm Resilience Table and the following:
F lu sh Ta ble
Setting this menu button to Flush empties the Resilience Table. Once flushed,
no resilient links are configured. You can now configure new links.
Ad d En tr y
This button opens the Add Resilient Table Entry view. Enter the Instance of
the new pair and set the Under Mod field to Under-Mod. This creates an
empty entry in the table. Double-click the entry to be able to enter the
definition.
Sta n d By Ma p Ta ble
This button opens the Mrm Resilience Standby Table.
Mr m Resilien ce Ta ble
A device can be configured to have a number of “resilient pairs” 802.3 Point-to-
Point 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.
Double-clicking an entry accesses the Mrm Resilience Table Entry View in
which you can update the configuration of a resilient pair.
Rep ea ter
Displays the repeater on which both ports in the pair are located.

resilient pair rules are no longer valid because of a change in the configuration
of the device, such as moving a card.
Mod Sta te
Displays the Modification State of the resilient pair. You must set the Under
Mod field in the Mrm Resilience Table Entry view to a value of Under-Mod
before changing the configuration of a pair. The changes are not applied until
this field shows the value Stable.
Pa ir Action
This field is used to change the state of the pair. Setting a value of Create
configures the pair using the definitions in the entry. Setting Delete removes
the entry from the table and terminates operation of resilience on this pair of
ports. The setting TogglePort swaps the currently active port with the standby
one if, and only if, the standby port has a status of OK.
