POS Ports


The POS Ports subtab displays packet-over-SDH (POS) port information.

Port

The port identifier number.

Port Name

The port name. This is the only field that you can provision for the ML-Series card.

Admin State

The configured administrative port state, which is active or inactive. Possible values are UP and DOWN.

Link State

The physical port state. Possible values are UP and DOWN.

MTU

Maximum Transfer Unit. The largest acceptable packet size configured for that port. The maximum setting is 9000 and the default size is 1500. The MTU value is 0 until the POS port is used in creating a circuit.

Framing Type

Shows the encapsulation type set on the Card subtab:

  • HDLC: High-level data link control; does not support VLAN trunking, which is standard on most Cisco data devices.

  • GFP-F: Frame-mapped generic framing procedure; a protocol data unit (PDU)-oriented adaptation mode that maps a client frame into one GFP frame.

Apply

Applies changes made to the port name.

Reset

Cancels any changes to the port name and returns the field to its last-saved settings.

Help

Displays context-sensitive help.
