Measures reported by DellSwPortDtTest
The Dell M-series switch modules comprises of multiple ports through which various network connections are established. This test auto discovers the ports on the Dell Switch M-Series, and reports the current administrative state and operational state of each port. This test also reveals strength of the power signals received and transmitted through each port. This way, administrators can be proactively alerted to transmission/reception of weak signals, and thus enabled to rapidly initiate remedial measures before the connections fail.
The measures made by this test are as follows:
| Measurement |
Description |
Measurement Unit |
Interpretation |
| Admin_status |
Indicates the current administrative status of this port. |
|
The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:
| State |
Numeric value |
| Up |
1 |
| Down |
2 |
Note:
By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current administrative status of the port. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of the port using the numeric equivalents only - 1 to 6. |
| Operational_status |
Indicates the current operational status of this port. |
|
The values reported by this measure and its numeric equivalents are mentioned in the table below:
| State |
Numeric value |
| Ready |
1 |
| Port down |
2 |
| Port problem |
3 |
| Card problem |
4 |
| Card down |
5 |
| Not present |
6 |
Note:
By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate the current operational status of the port. The graph of this measure however, represents the status of the port using the numeric equivalents only - 1 to 6. |
