The Ethernet Port object corresponds to a physical Ethernet connection in a MetaSwitch NE, for which it provides status information. It is created before delivery and cannot be destroyed.
The Ethernet Port object is a child of the Ethernet Switch in VP3500 / MG3500 object, Ethernet Switch in VP3510 / MG3510 object, or Fault Tolerant Ethernet Interface object.

Description |
Test IP address (Controller A) | Read only | This field does not appear for a CA9000 Series Call Agent. The originating IP address used by Controller A when sending pings from this Ethernet port to check connectivity. |
Test IP address (Controller B) | Read only | This field does not appear for a CA9000 Series Call Agent. The originating IP address used by Controller B when sending pings from this Ethernet port to check connectivity. |
Test IP address | Read only | This field appears only for a CA9000 Series Call Agent. The originating IP address used by the Call Agent Server when sending pings from this Ethernet port to check connectivity. |
Port status (Controller A) | Read only | This field does not appear for a CA9000 Series Call Agent. The status of the Ethernet Port, as determined by Controller A. Values:
|
Port status (Controller B) | Read only | This field does not appear for a CA9000 Series Call Agent. The status of the Ethernet Port, as determined by Controller B. The possible values are the same as for Port status (Controller A). |
Port status | Read only | This field appears only for a CA9000 Series Call Agent. The status of the Ethernet Port. Values:
|
Minimum desired link speed | Change | This field does not appear for a VP3500 or MG3500. The speed at which the Ethernet link should operate. Values:
|
Actual link speed | Read only | This field does not appear for a VP3500 or MG3500. The speed at which the Ethernet link is currently operating. Values:
|
Duplex mode | Read only | This field does not appear for a VP3500 or MG3500. Specifies whether the Ethernet link is operating in half-duplex or full-duplex mode. Values:
|
Link aggregated | Read only | This field appears only for a VP3510 or MG3510. Specifies whether the two or more Ethernet links on the switch are operating correctly as an aggregation group. Link aggregation failures may be caused by incompatibility with the far-end equipment, or by incorrect configuration or wiring. Values:
|
Alarmable multicast rate | Change | This field does not appear for a VP3500 or MG3500. The maximum rate (in packets per second) at which multicast packets should be received on this port. If the average rate over a 10-second period exceeds this value, the port will alarm. Specify a value in the range 1 - 999 (for a CA9000 Series Call Agent) or 1 - 100 (for a VP3510 or MG3510). The default is 100. |
Alarmable broadcast rate | Change | This field does not appear for a VP3500 or MG3500. The maximum rate (in packets per second) at which broadcast packets should be received on this port. If the average rate over a 10-second period exceeds this value, the port will alarm. Specify a value in the range 1 - 999 (for a CA9000 Series Call Agent) or 1 - 100 (for a VP3510 or MG3510). The default is 100. |
Suppress alarms | Change | If this Ethernet Port is not being used in link aggregation and does not have an uplink attached to it, you can use this field to prevent the display of alarms for the port. Values:
|
Alarm state | Read only | The alarm state of the Ethernet Port. Values:
|
Alarm state changed timestamp | Read only | Time at which the Alarm state last changed. |
Alarm log correlator - Attention Required | Read only | Identifier of the log message for the event that caused the last Attention Required alarm state for this object. This field is reset when the Attention Required alarm events field is reset to zero. |
Attention Required alarm events | Read only / Reset | Number of times (since this field was reset) that this object's alarm state has gone to Attention Required. |
Attention Required alarm events reset timestamp | Read only | Time at which the Attention Required alarm events field was last reset to zero. |
