A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Port Form

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Port form.]

The Port form provides details about the port you selected on the Node form or VLAN form. The following table describes the fields included on the Port form.

For information about each tab: See Also

Basic Attributes

Attribute

Description

Name

The port name consists of <Card-number / Port-number>.

Hosted on Node

The current value from the Name attribute on the Node form of the node on which the port resides. This is the current value in NNMi’s database for the Name attribute of the host device. The value could be a DNS name, a MIB-II sysName, or an address (depending on how your NNMi administrator configured the discovery process).

Click the Lookup icon and select Show Analysis or Open to display more information about the node.

Card

The current value from the Name attribute on the Card form of the card to which this port is assigned.

Click the Lookup icon and select Show Analysis or Open to display more information about the node.

Type

The port-type designator determined by the vendor.

Speed

Potential maximum physical speed of the port.

Configured Duplex Setting

Set by the administrator of the node. Possible values are:

Basic Attributes
Value	Description
AUTO	Indicates that Auto-negotiation is set for the configured duplex setting. Auto-negotiation is an Ethernet procedure in which two connected devices choose the fastest transmission mode they both support.
HALF	Indicates the port supports half-duplex operations. This means the port can send information in both directions between two devices, but in only one direction at a time.
FULL	Indicates the port supports full-duplex operations. This means the port can send data in both directions simultaneously.
DISAGREE	Indicates the port could not agree on the duplex settings with a port on the other end of a connection.
UNKNOWN	Indicates the manufacturer of this device does not support this setting.

Associated Interface

The current value from the Name attribute on the Interface form of the interface using this port. This is the current value in NNMi’s database obtained using the Interface MIB: ifName, ifAlias, or ifType+ifIndex

Click the Lookup icon and select Show Analysis or Open to display more information about the interface.

ifAlias

Optional Interface MIB variable for ifAlias assigned to the interface. This value is set by the device administrator. An ifAlias could be useful if the interface vendor did not provide an ifName value.

Port Index

The unique value assigned to this port within the card.

VLANs Tab

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the VLAN Port form.]

The Port Form provides details about the selected port.

For information about each tab: See Also

(NNMi Advanced - Global Network Management feature) There might be slight differences between the VLAN information shown on Regional Managers and Global Managers, because the VLAN calculations use Layer 2 Connections data.

VLANs Attributes
Attribute	Description
VLANs	Table view of the VLANs to which the selected port belongs. You can use this table to determine the VLAN ID number and name for each VLAN associated with the selected port. Double-click the row representing a VLAN. The VLAN Form displays all details about the selected VLAN.

RegistrationTab

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Node form: Registration tab.]

The Port Form provides details about the selected port.

For information about each tab: See Also

Registration Attributes
Attribute	Description
Created	Date and time the selected object instance was created. NNMi uses the locale of the client and the date and time from the NNMi management server. This value does not change when a node is rediscovered. This is because the Node object is modified, but not created.
Last Modified	Date the selected object instance was last modified. NNMi uses the locale of the client and the date and time from the NNMi management server. Note the following: When a node is rediscovered, the Last Modified time is the same as the Discovery Completed time. This is because the node’s Discovery State changes from Started to Completed. When a Node is initially discovered, the Last Modified time is slightly later than the Created time. This is because node discovery does not complete until after the Node is created.

Object Identifiers Attributes
Attribute	Description
ID	The Unique Object Identifier, which is unique within the NNMi database.
UUID	The Universally Unique Object Identifier, which is unique across all databases.
