Ethernet Switch in VP2510 / MG2510

The Ethernet Switch in VP2510 / MG2510 object corresponds to a physical Ethernet switch in a VP2510 or MG2510 system, for which it provides status information. There are two instances of the Ethernet Switch in VP2510 / MG2510 object for each instance of the MetaSwitch object: Ethernet Switch A is in slot 1, and Ethernet Switch B is in slot 10.

In the EMS System Explorer, the name shown for the object is SW2100 Ethernet Switch.

The Ethernet Switch in VP2510 / MG2510 object is a child of the System Hardware object. It is created before delivery and cannot be destroyed.


The status fields on the Ethernet Switch in VP2510 / MG2510 object report the layer 2 Ethernet status of the link.

Description
Link 1 (CPU Card A) status Read only Link status of port 1 on the Ethernet Switch. Port 1 connects to CPU card A. Values:
  • Active
  • Inactive
  • Disabled
  • Unknown
    The link status cannot be determined.
  • Half duplex
    The link is running in half duplex mode, not in full duplex mode as expected.
  • Link speed unacceptable
    The actual link speed is too low for this link type: for example, the link speed has been negotiated to 10Mbit/s or 100Mbit/s when it should be 1000Mbits/s.
  • Error rate too high
    The error rate (the total number of errors as a percentage of the total number of received packets) measured over a 10-second period has exceeded 1%. This condition clears when the error rate remains below 1% for six successive 10-second periods.
  • Multicast rate too high
    The rate at which multicast packets were received, averaged over a 10-second period, was too high. This condition clears when the rate has been within limits for six successive 10-second periods.
  • Broadcast rate too high
    The rate at which broadcast packets were received, averaged over a 10-second period, was too high. This condition clears when the rate has been within limits for six successive 10-second periods.
Link 2 (I/O slot 3) status Read only Link status of port 2 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port to slot 3. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 3 (I/O slot 4) status Read only Link status of port 3 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port to slot 4. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 4 (I/O slot 5) status Read only Link status of port 4 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port to slot 5. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 5 (I/O slot 6) status Read only Link status of port 5 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port to slot 6. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 6 (I/O slot 7) status Read only Link status of port 6 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port to slot 7. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 7 (I/O slot 8) status Read only Link status of port 7 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port to slot 8. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 8 (CPU Card B) status Read only Link status of port 8 on the Ethernet Switch. Port 8 connects to CPU card B. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 9 (Alarm Card A) status Read only Link status of port 9 on the Ethernet Switch. Port 9 connects to alarm card A. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 10 (Alarm Card B) status Read only Link status of port 10 on the Ethernet Switch. Port 10 connects to alarm card B. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 11 (unused) status Read only Link status of port 11 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port, currently unused. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 12 (unused) status Read only Link status of port 12 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port, currently unused. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 13 (unused) status Read only Link status of port 13 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port, currently unused. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 14 (unused) status Read only Link status of port 14 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port, currently unused. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 15 (unused) status Read only Link status of port 15 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port, currently unused. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 16 (unused) status Read only Link status of port 16 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port, currently unused. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 17 (unused) status Read only Link status of port 17 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port, currently unused. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 18 (unused) status Read only Link status of port 18 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port, currently unused. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Link 19 (unused) status Read only Link status of port 19 on the Ethernet Switch. This is a standard I/O port, currently unused. The possible values are the same as for Link 1 (CPU Card A) status.
Alarm state Read only The alarm state of the chassis. Values:
  • Clear
    The object does not currently require maintenance action.
  • Attention Required
    The object requires maintenance action.
Alarm log correlator 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.
Alarm state changed timestamp Read only Time at which the Alarm state last changed.
Alarm events reset timestamp Read only Time at which the Attention Required alarm events field was last reset to zero.
Child Attention Required alarms Read only The total number of Attention Required alarms for child objects of this Ethernet Switch object.
Child Attention Required alarm events Read only / Reset The total number of times that the alarm state for a child object has gone to Attention Required.
Summary child alarm state Read only Summarizes the alarm status for all children of this object. Values:
  • Clear
    No alarms are currently raised.
  • Attention Required
    Attention Required - one or more child objects are not operating normally, and need operator intervention.
  • Attend To Dependent
    Attention Required elsewhere - another object on which one or more child objects depend is not operating normally.
