Changing Ports in the Detail View
The Detail View can display up to four ports at the same time. If the bridge has
more than four ports, you can show other device ports by exchanging an existing
port in the Detail View for a port that is not displayed.
To select a new port for the Detail View:
1.
In the Detail View, click mouse button 3 on the bridge port you want to replace
with another port. The Change Menu appears.
2.
Select the range of bridge ports (e.g., Port 1-10) that includes the desired
port. A menu listing the individual ports included in the selected range (i.e.,
Port 1, Port 2, Port 3, and so on) will appear. Ports that are currently
displayed in the Detail View are grayed in the menu.
Each port shows the total frames transmitted and
received by the port.
Port summary information includes Port Index (at
the top of the Bridge Port box), Port Status,
Bridge Port State, and Frames Forwarded. You
can display Frames Forwarded as a delta value

bridge port to any other port on the bridge during
the last polling interval) or as a percentage value
(showing the percentage of all frames received by
the port from its attached network segment during
the last polling interval that were forwarded to
another port on the bridge) by clicking the

window (see
