Port type for remote connection, can be Ethernet, External, or Unknown

Port type

Port type of the remote connection, can be Local, Ethernet, or Unknown

Port ID

ID of the external port, can be X1 through X10

Port description

Detailed description of the port type

Address type

Type of address, can be IPV4 or IPV6

Address

IP address of the interconnect to which the uplink port is connected

System name

Symbolic name of the device set by the network administrator

System description

Vendor-generated description of the device

System capabilities

Configuration of the port on the device, can be bridge, trunk, bridge and trunk, or bridge, router

Downlinks

(Cisco FEX modules only)

List of the downlink ports to which the uplink port is connected.
Port

Port number

Server Hardware

Hyperlink to the connected server hardware

DCBX Information

The Data Center Bridging Exchange (DCBX) protocol information is displayed only for FCoE-capable ports when assigned to an FCoE network.

Overall status
Status of the DCBX protocol exchange with peer entity. It is the combination of AP and PFC state. PG is not included in the overall status.
OK

No error is detected in the DCBX operation.

Failed

An error occurred in one of the DCBX information exchanges. Check the AP, PFC, or PG state for the reason for the error. For more information and troubleshooting, refer to the hardware documentation for the switch.

AP state

Application protocol status.

PFC state

Priority-based flow control status.

PG state

Priority group status.

Direct attach

These fields display when an uplink port is connected to a Fibre Channel direct attach network

FC domain ID

Unique Fibre Channel ID generated by the appliance for each interconnect

FC port ID

Hexadecimal ID assigned to the port by the FC SAN

Storage port WWN

World Wide Port Name of the storage port

Storage node WWN

World Wide Node Name of the storage node

Storage port name

Symbolic port name of the storage port to which the uplink port is connected

Storage node name

Symbolic node name of the storage port to which the uplink port is connected

FIP Snooping

(Active FCoE only)

These fields display when an uplink port is connected to an active FCoE module.
LAG

Link Aggregation Group ID for the ports within the LAG.

VLAN

VLAN ID associated with the FCoE network configured on the uplink set.

Downlink count

Number of server ports that are active or logged into an associated FCoE VLAN network.

FC Map

FCoE MAC address prefix provided by the Fibre Channel Forwarder (FCF) which is used to construct the FCoE MAC address on the server: FC MAP and FC ID.

FCF Name

FCF switch node WWN name associated with the FCoE VLAN. The name is provided by the FCF in snooped FIP messages.

Fabric Name

The fabric name associated with the FCoE VLAN. It is provided by the FCF in snooped FIP messages.

FCF MAC Address

In FCF mode, a single FCF MAC address per switch.

In NPV mode, the FCF MAC address for each port on the FCF switch that is part of the LAG.

Statistics

These fields display when an uplink port is on an interconnect that supports statistics. For example, Virtual Connect Fibre Channel interconnects do not support statistical data collection.

Port statistics data is refreshed at the same frequency as the interval between samples, which you can set using the Utilization sampling settings on the Logical Interconnects screen, or the Logical Interconnect Groups screen.

Transmitted errors

Number of errors that the port has transmitted since the connection was established or the last time the port counters were cleared

Received errors

Number of errors that the port has received since the connection was established or the last time the port counters were cleared

Bit Transfer Rate graph

Displays the bit transfer rate (transmitted and received) of the uplink port over time, and the average bit transfer rate

You can change the sample collection rate using the Utilization Sampling settings on the Logical Interconnects screen, or the Logical Interconnect Groups screen.

Packet Transfer Rate graph

Displays the packet transfer rate (transmitted and received) of the uplink port over time, and the average packet transfer rate

You can change the sample collection rate using the Utilization Sampling settings on the Logical Interconnects screen, or the Logical Interconnect Groups screen.

Advanced Statistics

These fields display if an uplink port is on an interconnect that supports statistical data collection, and if the interconnect is in a managed state.

The counters that appear depend on port type. Uplink and downlink port advanced statistics provides details.
