- In the Switch
Group, select the Switch and click
Ports tab to view the Front Panel
View in the Ports View tab for additional
port information as shown in the following figure. The Front Panel View provides information on the state of all ports in each switch module, for example port Up, Down, or Administratively Down. Additional port details can be seen by hovering the mouse over the port.The following figure shows the diagram legend used in the Front Panel View page.The following list further describes items in the Front Panel View legend.
- Up: Ports that are up or active.
- Warning: Ports that have packet errors.
- Down: Ports that are down or inactive.
- Linked to Ruckus AP: Ports that are linked to RUCKUS AP.
- Admin Down: Ports that have been manually disabled by the network administrator.
- PoE Detected Ports: Ports that are PoE detected.
- Stacking Ports: Ports that are stacked.
- Click the switch name to view the
Port Details page as shown in the following figure.
The Port Details page provides the following information on each port:Note: Ports for switch stacks are not configurable from the Port Details page.
- Port Name: The port name
- Port Number: The port number
- Status: Whether the port is operationally up or down
- Admin Status: Whether the port has been set to Up or Down by the network administrator
- Speed: The speed of the port
- PoE Device Type: Inline power device type, such as 802.3af, 802.3at, or Legacy device
- PoE Usage (used/total watts): The PoE power usage compared to the allocated power
- VLANs: The VLANs to which the port is connected
- Bandwidth IN (%): The bandwidth utilization for incoming traffic
- Bandwidth OUT (%): The bandwidth utilization of the port for outgoing traffic
- LAG Name (Type): The name of the Link Aggregation Group (LAG)
- Optics: The type of optic
- Neighbor Name: When LLDP is enabled, the name of the neighboring device, such as an AP or another switch or router
- Incoming Multicast Packets: The total number of incoming multicast data packets
- Outgoing Multicast Packets: The total number of outgoing multicast data packets
- Incoming Broadcast Packets: The total number of incoming broadcast data packets
- Outgoing Broadcast Packets: The total number of outgoing broadcast data packets
- In Errors: The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol
- Out Errors: The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors
- CRC Errors: Indicates that the checksum calculated does not match between the data sender side and the received side. A CRC error usually indicates network transmission problems.
- In Discard: The number of inbound packets that were chosen to be discarded (even though no errors are detected) to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
- Switch Name: The name of the switch connected to the port
In UI there is no Switch Name
- Switch Group: The name of the switch group connected to the
port
In UI there is no Switch Group
You can also filter the list of ports by the VLANs associated with them. Click%20Switch%20Management%20Guide,%206.1.2_v3_GUID-7CDC3479-EDB7-4841-AB6E-B85587E7C24A/GearIcon=GUID-B4067B35-2372-4E79-B821-50B526568C49=1=en-US=Low.png)
to set the filters.
Note: In this release only forming a LAG through the controller web user interface is supported. The system does not support configuring LAG interface detail through the controller web user interface. To configure detail settings for LAG after form it, you need to configure it through Switch console directly.
