Accessing the Bridge Traffic View Window
The Bridge Port boxes are color-coded, reflecting their current status. Bridge Port
boxes for disabled bridge ports are colored blue. Enabled bridge ports are colored
green, yellow, or red, depending on the range in which the traffic volume through
that interface falls. See

Port box colors.
Bridge Port box fields are as follows:
Port #
The index number assigned to the bridge interface.
Type
The bridge port’s physical interface type (e.g. ethernet-csmacd, fddi, ppp, token
ring, etc.).
ring, etc.).
MAC
The MAC address of the TSX-1620 port associated with the bridge interface.
The remaining information displayed in the Bridge Port boxes depends on
selections made using the buttons located at the bottom of the Bridge Traffic View.

Choosing Bridge Traffic Information: Bridge Traffic View Buttons
The four buttons at the bottom of the Bridge Traffic View control the type of
information that appears in some of the Bridge Port box fields. (The Port number,
Type, and MAC address fields are not affected by any of these buttons.)

Type, and MAC address fields are not affected by any of these buttons.)
NOTE
The number of bridge interfaces appearing in the Bridge Traffic View depends on the
number of different local segment numbers assigned to the TSX-1620’s physical ports.
For example, if all of the TSX-1620’s physical ports have the same local segment identifier,
the Bridge Traffic View will display a single bridge interface (port). If physical ports 1-5
are assigned the same local segment identifier, and ports 6-16 are assigned another local
segment identifier, the Bridge Traffic View will display two bridge interfaces, and so on. A
port’s local segment identifier is assigned using the Source Routing Configuration
window. See

NOTE
For the TSX-1620, the MAC address displayed for each bridge interface will be that of the
first detected physical port assigned to each interface (e.g., if physical ports 6-16 are
assigned to the same bridge interface, the MAC address displayed for that bridge interface
will be that of port 6). The MAC address displayed for bridge interface 1 will always be
that of port 1.
