Viewing Ports of a Switch

You can view the status and configuration of switch ports, including port status, VLAN assignments, PoE information, traffic statistics, and other port-specific settings.

Complete the following steps to view the status and configuration of all ports for a specific switch:
  1. On the navigation bar, select Wired > Switches > Switch List.
    The Switches page is displayed.
  2. Click a switch name in the list.
    The details page for the selected switch is displayed, defaulting to the Overview tab.
  3. Select the Ports sub-tab.

    The Ports sub-tab is displayed.

    Note: For switches that have not yet become operational, RUCKUS One displays a generated port list based on the switch model. This allows you to view and configure supported port settings before the switch sends streaming data to RUCKUS One. Only Module 1 ports are displayed during pre-provisioning, and all fields except Port Number display--. During pre-provisioning, the Ports table displays generated port information. After the switch becomes operational and RUCKUS One receives streaming data from the switch, the generated port list is replaced with the actual switch port information.
    Overview Tab - Ports Sub-Tab

    The Ports sub-tab displays the following information about each switch port:

    • Port Number: Displays the port number of the switch.
    • Port Name: Displays the port name of the switch.
    • Status: Displays the status of the switch port (Up or Down).
    • Admin Status: Displays the admin status of the switch port (Up or Down).
    • ErrDisabled: Specifies whether the port is in an error-disabled state (Yes or No).
    • ErrDisable Reason: Displays the reason the port is in the error-disabled state.
      Note: ErrDisabled and ErrDisable Reason are supported only in RUCKUS FastIron releases 10.0.10 (versions 10.0.10g or later) and 10.0.20 (versions 10.0.20b or later).
    • Speed: Displays the speed of the switch port.
    • PoE Device Type: Displays the type of device connected to the PoE port.
    • PoE Usage: Displays the PoE usage level for each port of the switch.
    • PoE Schedule: Displays the PoE schedule for each port of the switch (Custom Schedule or -- (meaning no schedule)).
    • PoE Capability: Displays the PoE capability for each port of the switch (PoE or Non-PoE).
    • Port Profile Name: Displays the name of the port profile associated with the port.
    • Port Profile Type: Displays the type of the port profile (Dynamic or Static).
    • MAC ACL: Displays the name of the MAC ACL bound to the port.
    • Sticky MAC: Displays the number of learned MAC addresses bound to the port. Hover your cursor over the number to view the list.
    • VLANs: Displays the VLAN assigned to each port of the switch.
    • LAG Name: Displays the name of the LAG associated with the port. To view and configure LAG, refer to Managing a Switch LAG for more information.
    • Neighbor Name: Displays the name of the neighboring device.
    • Bandwidth IN (%): Displays the percentage of incoming bandwidth utilization on the port relative to the available bandwidth.
    • Bandwidth OUT (%): Displays the percentage of outgoing bandwidth utilization on the port relative to the available bandwidth.
    • Optics: Displays the speed and type of optical transceiver in use for the port (for examples, 25 Gbits per second fiber, 1 Gbits per second copper)
    • Incoming Multicast Packets: Displays the number of incoming Multicast Packets received on the port.
    • Outgoing Multicast Packets: Displays the number of outgoing Multicast Packets transmitted from the port.
    • Incoming Broadcast Packets: Displays the number of incoming Broadcast Packets received on the port.
    • Outgoing Broadcast Packets: Displays the number of outgoing Broadcast Packets transmitted from the port.
    • In Errors: Displays the number of errors encountered while receiving (incoming) packets on the port.
    • Out Errors: Displays the number of errors encountered while transmitting (outgoing) packets on the port.
    • CRC Errors: Displays the number of packets with Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors on the port.
    • In Discards: Displays the number of incoming packets that were discarded due to errors, congestion, or other issues.
    • Ingress ACL (IPv4): Displays the configured Ingress ACL for IPv4 traffic on the port.
    • Egress ACL (IPv4): Displays the configured Egress ACL for IPv4 traffic on the switch port.
    • Ingress ACL (IPv6): Displays the configured Ingress ACL for IPv6 traffic on the port.
    • Egress ACL (IPv6): Displays the configured Egress ACL for IPv6 traffic on the port.
    • Tags: Displays labels associated with the port to manage and organize network traffic.
  4. (Optional) Click Edit to edit the port details by selecting the checkbox next to the Port Number column. Refer to Editing a Switch Port for more information.
    Note: When a switch is in the Configuration Conflict state, all configuration operations are unavailable until the conflict is resolved.
    You can use the Search option to display only the table entries matching the specified Port Number, Port Name, or Neighbor Name; enter a minimum of two characters. You can also filter the list using the Status, VLANs, and PoE Capability drop-down menus.

    You can customize which fields appear in the Ports table by clicking the icon and selecting or deselecting the desired column names. Optionally, you can click Reset to default to restore the default subset of columns.

    Click Clear Filters to reset the filters. You can sort the list by clicking the associated column header.
