The Ports—Network Status table (see the following image) on the web interface provides important network information from the switch and the end device.

The list of parameters is as follows:

  • #: Unit logical port numbers 1–8. However, while using the CLI, the ports are as below:
    • interface GigabitEthernet 1/1 – interface GigabitEthernet 1/8
  • Type: All ports are 1GB link speed copper ports.
  • Status: Link port status:
    • ---: Port is enabled. The link is down.
    • Up: Port is enabled. The link is up.
    • Disabled: Port is disabled
  • Speed: Port link speed—10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps, and 2.5 Gbps.
    Note: The SFP ports use default 1 Gigabit connection speed. For other SFP link speeds, such as 2.5 GB or 100 Mb, manual configuration is required.
  • Aggregation Ports: Report aggregated port numbers when port aggregation is in use. For example, P3 and P4 means that ports #3 and #4 are used as one logical aggregated port, doubling logical aggregated speed to 2 Gigabit.
  • Transmit: Average transmits data rate in kbps/Mbps
  • Receive: Average receive data rate in kbps/Mbps
  • System Name: Remote network device system name as advertised over Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP)/Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) (when enabled)
  • System Description: Remote network device system description as advertised over LLDP/CDP (when enabled)
  • IP Address: Remote network device IP address as advertised over LLDP/CDP (when enabled)
