default.
The interface type, which can be one of the following:
• Normal—The port is a normal port, which means it is not a LAG member or configured for
port mirroring. All ports are normal ports by default.
• Trunk Member—The port is a member of a trunk.
• Mirrored—The port is configured to mirror its traffic (ingress, egress, or both) to another port
(the probe port).
• Probe—The port is configured to receive mirrored traffic from one or more source ports.
The physical status (Link Up or Link Down) of the link at the port.
Displays whether Auto negotiation is enabled or disabled on the port.
If the mode is Auto, the port's maximum capability are advertised, and the duplex mode and speed
are set from the auto-negotiation process. The physical mode for a trunk is "Trunk".
The physical speed at which the port is operating. If no link is present, this field is empty.
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) specifies the largest frame size that can be transmitted
on the port. The default is 1518 bytes.
