The Port Trunking Window
4-3
Using FN100 Trunking
the FN100’s trunking PDUs are being successfully received at the other end of
the link.
•
joined
— trunking is enabled, the trunking protocol has established a good
trunk connection, and the port is actively participating in the trunk group.
•
perturbed
— trunking is enabled, the trunking protocol has established a good
trunk connection, and the port is actively participating in the trunk group;
however, the transmission of data packets has been temporarily stopped due
to a change in trunk group membership.
•
helddown —
trunking is enabled, but the trunk connection has been rejected.
Indicates that an error has been detected and the link is being held out of
service until the error condition clears. After a short time-out period, another
attempt will be automatically initiated to establish a good trunk connection.
•
broken
— the port has been configured for trunking, but is physically non-
operational.
Rmt Bridge Id
Displays the MAC address portion of the remote bridge’s bridge ID.
Rmt IP Address
Displays the remote bridge’s IP address.
Last Error
Displays a value (1-8) corresponding to a reason for failure when the link is in a
helddown
state. These values and their corresponding reasons for failure include:
•
1
— none — no error; the trunking protocol may restart with no error
conditions when trunking is activated for a port or when the MIB variable that
controls extra trunk groups is modified.
•
2
— in-bpdu — a spanning tree BPDU was received, indicating that the
connection is not point-to-point, or that the far end of the link does not have
trunking enabled.
•
3
— multiple-bridges — a different bridge has been connected at the far end
of the link, and the trunking protocol will restart.
•
4
— ack-lost (acknowledgment lost) — the far end of the link has detected a
problem, and the trunking protocol will restart.
NOTE
The Rmt Bridge Id field can be used to determine which ports belong to which trunk
group. Ports in the same trunk group will have the same remote bridge ID.
