This chapter describes how to view status information for each of the interfaces on the Cisco device being managed using the Cisco 12000 Manager (C12kM) application.

This chapter contains the following information:

•Interfaces and Related Technology-Specific Windows

•Launching the Interface Status Windows

•Generic Interface Status

•ATM Interface Status

•DS3/E3 Interface Status

•SONET Interface Status

•SRP Interface Status

•SRP Side IPS Status

•SRP Topology Map

Interfaces and Related Technology-Specific Windows

Interfaces on line cards can support multiple technologies. Status windows are technology-specific. For example, a DS-3 interface supports two technologies: Generic and DS-3. Therefore, if you wish to view the status of a DS-3 interface, you must view two windows: the Generic Interface Status window and the DS-3 Interface Status window.

This process is also applicable to ATM, Ethernet, POS or SRP interfaces. The following table outlines which technology-specific status windows apply to each interface type.

Table 9-1 Interface Types and Status Windows

Interface Type	Technology-Specific Status Window
DS-3	Generic, and DS-3
ATM	Generic, ATM, and SONET
Ethernet	Generic
POS	Generic, and SONET
SRP	Generic and SRP
SRP Side	SRP Side and SONET

Launching the Interface Status Windows

Table 9-2 displays the Interface Status windows that can be launched from each object type. For example, the Generic Interface Status window can be launched from a Site, Shelf, Chassis, Module, or Generic Interface object only.

Interface Details

The Interface Details area displays the following fields:

Type—Type of interface.

Description—Information about the interface. Generally contains the product name and the version of the interface hardware or software.

Operational Status—Current operational status of the interface. Possible values are as follows:

•Down—If admin status is down, then operational status should be down

•Testing—In test mode, no operational packets can be passed

•Unknown—Status can not be determined for some reason

•Dormant—Interface is waiting for external actions

•NotPresent—Some component is missing, typically hardware

•LowerLayerDown—Down due to state of lower layer interface

Physical Address—Interface's address at its protocol sub-layer. For example, an 802.x interface normally contains a MAC address. For interfaces that do not have such an address (such as a serial line), this object should contain an octet string of zero length.
