LLDP PARTNER
Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) is an industry-standard method for device announcement and reporting described
in the IEEE 802.1AB standard. Any Ethernet-aware device may announce itself using LLDP, not just switches. This feature
is particularly useful when using VLANs as you can tell which device is connected to a port, even if the port is not on the
management VLAN.
For Pathway devices supporting LLDP, the name shown in the LLDP Partner field will be the device's name, as configured
in Pathscape. Other LLDP-enabled devices may return different information.

FORWARDING STATE
Shows the forwarding state for the selected Port. Typically, this will show "Forwarding all traffic".
If RSTP is enabled and a network loop is detected, RSTP will block the port that is creating the loop. In this case, the
Forwarding State will be shown as "Blocked by RSTP".
When EAPS is in use and the ring is healthy, the secondary port will report "Blocked by Ring Protect (EAPS)".
BANDWIDTH PERCENTAGE
Shows, as a percentage value, the bandwidth used on the selected port. Bandwidth is relative to the port speed as
negotiated with the link partner, i.e. if the port is set to 100Mbit, a bandwidth use of 55% is equal to approximately 55Mbit
of traffic per second.
REV 1.0 • June 2020
Traffic forwarding state of the port: Forwarding all traffic, Blocked by RSTP (detecting
a loop), or blocked by Ring Protect (EAPS). RSTP or EAPS must be active. Read-only.
Shows the bandwidth used on the selected port. Bandwidth is relative to the port
speed as negotiated with the link partner, i.e. if the port is set to 100Mbit, a bandwidth
usage of 55% is equal to approximately 55Mbit of traffic per second. Read-only.
