 describes the Interface tab fields.

The 10/100BASE-TX ports may not autonegotiate correctly with older 10/

100BASE-TX equipment. You can sometimes upgrade the older devices with new 
firmware or driver revisions. If an upgrade does not allow autonegotiation to correctly 
identify the link speed and duplex settings, you can manually configure the settings for 
the link in question. Check the Nortel Networks Web site (nortelnetworks.com) for the 
latest compatibility information.

If you are configuring a port as Administratively down, it is advisable to consider 

disabling linktrap. If you do not disable linktrap, unnecessary Traps set off alarms for these 
unused ports during reboots.

Interface tab fields

Index

A unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges 

between 64 and 511. 

Name

The name given to the port.

Descr

The port type of this interface.

Type

The media type of this interface.

Mtu

The size of the largest packet, in octets, that can be sent/

received on the interface.

PhysAddress

The MAC address assigned to a particular interface.

VendorDescr

The name of the interface chipset. (May not apply to all port 

types.)

AdminStatus

One of the following states:
• up
• down
• testing
When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with 

AdminStatus in the up state. As a result of either explicit 

management action or per configuration information retained 

by the managed system, AdminStatus is then changed to 

either the down or the testing state (or remains in the down 

state). The testing state indicates that no operational packets 

can be passed.
