The Interface 360 view gives you a quick summary about a specified interface. In addition to status, performance, and general
interface information, you can enable and disable the interface from the Interface 360 view. The Interfaces 360 view also
provides ways to open 360 views for circuits/VCs (depending on the interface configuration).
You can launch the
Interface 360 view wherever you see an "i" icon next to an interface name—for
example, in an alarms table, or in the various 360 views under the Interfaces
or Endpoints tabs.
You can also view a
specific interface in the topology map by choosing
(at the top right of the Interface 360
view).
The Interface 360
view provides general interface and performance information at the top of the
view, and more detailed interface information in tabs in the lower part of the
view. The information the Interface 360 view displays depends on the interface
configuration.
Note |
The tabs
displayed will vary, depending on the type of interface for which you launched
this view.

Information Provided in
Interface 360 View
|
Description
|
General
information
|
The
interface name, status, description, type, device name; IP address, MAC
address, and so forth. Using the menus in the top right of the pop-up window,
you can also perform these tasks:
-
Open
a chassis view that highlights the port or line card the interface is
associated with (View menu). This feature comes in handy when you
need to describe to an onsite technician where to find the source of an issue.
-
Select the interface for a side-by-side comparison with another
interface on the basis of information such as raised alarms and the current
status of associated circuits and VCs (Actions menu)—see
Compare
Interface Information and Status.
-
View
performance information for optical devices by opening the
DWDM/OTN Performance dashboard from the
View menu. See
DWDM/OTN
Performance Dashboard Overview.
-
Enable and disable the interface from the
Actions menu.
-
Enable and disable the lockout of an MPLS interface from the
Actions menu. You would lock out an MPLS interface
before doing maintenance work on the TE Tunnel link that the interface belongs
to. After you lock out an MPLS interface, be sure to manually sync the device.
Otherwise, you will not have the option to disable the lockout later.
-
View
the device on which the interface is located in a topology map (Actions menu).

Performance data
|
Graphs
or charts reflecting various aspects of interface performance.
|
Alarms
|
Current
alarms for the interface, including their severity, status, and the time they
were generated. Also provides a launch point to the Alarm Browser.
|
Interfaces
|
Name, interface type, and operational and admin status for each associated interface. Also provides a launch point for the
Interface 360 view.
|
Circuit/VCs
|
(For interfaces that participate in circuits) Circuit/VC name, type, customer, status, and creation date. Also provides a
launch point for the Circuit/VC 360 view.
|
EFPs
|
All EFPs
associated with the interface. Also provides their operational status, admin
status, and EFP type.
|
Optical
Physical
|
Real-time performance monitoring data for the interface. This
data is collected every 10 seconds, and the results of the last 10 pollings are
displayed here. For a listing of the counters that can be displayed, see
Reference—Performance
Counters for Physical Interfaces.
