Field

Description

Switch#/Port#

Member number and its stack port number.

Stack Port Status

Absent—No cable is detected on the stack port.

Down—A cable is detected, but either no connected neighbor is up,
or the stack port is disabled.

OK—A cable is detected, and the connected neighbor is up.

Neighbor

Switch number of the active member at the other end of the stack cable.

Cable Length

Valid lengths are 50 cm, 1 m, or 3 m.

If the switch cannot detect the cable length, the value is no cable. The
cable might not be connected, or the link might be unreliable.

Link OK

This shows if the link is stable.

The link partner is a stack port on a neighbor switch.

No—The link partner receives invalid protocol messages from the
port.

Yes—The link partner receives valid protocol messages from the
port.

Link Active

This shows if the stack port is in the same state as its link partner.

No—The port cannot send traffic to the link partner.

Yes—The port can send traffic to the link partner.

Sync OK

No—The link partner does not send valid protocol messages to the
stack port.

Yes—The link partner sends valid protocol messages to the port.

# Changes to LinkOK

This shows the relative stability of the link.

If a large number of changes occur in a short period of time, link flapping
can occur.

In Loopback

No—At least one stack port on the member has an attached stack
cable.

Yes—None of the stack ports on the member has an attached stack
cable.
