An FDDI Port entity represents an access point to the service offered by the FDDI module. A client transmits and receives data through a port. Ports are created and deleted by client use of open and close service interface procedures.
1 – counters
MULTICAST OCTETS RECEIVED
Number of multicast user data octets successfully received and
available to the data-link user.
MULTICAST OCTETS SENT
Number of multicast user data octets successfully transmitted using
the port.
MULTICAST PDUS RECEIVED
Number of multicast frames successfully received and available to
the data-link user.
MULTICAST PDUS SENT
Number of multicast frames successfully transmitted using the port.
OCTETS RECEIVED
Number of user data octets successfully received and available to
the data-link user.
OCTETS SENT
Number of user data octets successfully transmitted using the port.
PDUS RECEIVED
Number of frames successfully received and available to the data
link user.
PDUS SENT
Number of frames successfully transmitted using the port.
UNAVAILABLE USER BUFFERS
Number of times no user buffer was available at the port for an
incoming frame.
2 – status
CLIENT
Name specified by the data link when the port is opened.
ETHERNET PROTOCOL TYPES
Set of Ethernet protocol types that are recognized for this port.
Protocol types for a port may be enabled and disabled by the user at
any time during the port's existence.
LENGTH PRESENT
Indicates whether the data link is to add a length field on
transmit, and both assume the presence of and remove the length
field on receive for Ethernet frames. This attribute is irrelevant
for ISO 8802-3 formatted frames because the length field is always
present. This is specified by the user when the port is opened.
The value true means length fields are added and removed by the
data link.
LINK
Name of the link subentity associated with this port, specified by
the user when the port is opened.
LLC SAP ADDRESSES
Set of SNAP protocol identifiers that are recognized for this port.
LLC SAP addresses for a port may be enabled and disabled by the user
at any time during the port's existence.
LLC SERVICE
LLC PDU processing the data-link user requires from the port,
specified by the user when the port is opened.This is either LLC
Class 1, where the entire LLC protocol is handled by the data link,
or user-supplied LLC, where the user is responsible for operating
part of the LLC protocol.
MAC ADDRESSES
Set of individual and multicast MAC addresses that are recognized
for this port. MAC addresses for a port may be enabled and
disabled by the user at any time during the port's existence.
RECEIVE MODE
Indicates if the port is to receive all frames regardless of format,
Ethernet protocol type, SNAP protocol identifier, LLC SAP address,
or MAC address. Promiscuous receipt is enabled and disabled by the
user. Support of promiscuous mode is optional.
SNAP PROTOCOL IDENTIFIERS
Set of SNAP protocol identifiers that are recognized for this port.
Protocol identifiers for a port may be enabled and disabled by the
user at any time during the port's existence.
TYPE
Type of port LLC or SMT.
