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.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

Layer 2 Connection Form: Conclusions Tab

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Layer 2 Connection form, Conclusions tab.]

The Layer 2 Connection Form provides details about a managed connection.

All relevant conclusions are shown in the table on this tab. The most severe Status in the current group of conclusions becomes the overall L2 Connection status. Some L2 Connection conclusions propagate to other object types: See Also

For information about each tab: See Also

Description

Outstanding Status Conclusions

The dynamically generated list of summary statuses of the connection that contributed to the current overall Status of the selected connection. Status is set by Causal Engine.

Each Conclusion listed is still outstanding and applies to the current overall Status.

This view is useful for obtaining a quick summary of the Status and problem description for the current connection that led up to the connection's most current Status.

The Status value is correlated based on the most critical Conclusion.

Double-click the row representing a Conclusion. The Conclusion form displays all details about the selected Conclusion.

The following table describes the possible Conclusions that might appear for a Connection object.

A Y in the Incident? column indicates that the Conclusion results in an incident.

Critical Status Conclusions

Conclusion	Description	Status	Incident?
AggregatorLinkDown	(NNMi Advanced) Link AggregationProtocols used on Switches to configure multiple Interfaces (Aggregation Member Interfaces) to function as if they were one (an Aggregator Interface). When two Aggregator Interfaces establish a connection, that connection is an Aggregator Layer 2 Connection. The Aggregator Layer 2 Connection appears on Layer 2 Neighbor View maps as a thick line with an Interface icon at each end (representing the Aggregator Interface). or Split Link AggregationLink Aggregation with more than two endpoints. Some vendors refer to this as Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation, SLAG, MLAG, or MC-LAG.: The Operational State of all participating Aggregation Member Layer 2 Connections is Down. For more information, see Layer 2 Connection Form: Link Aggregation Tab (NNMi Advanced).	Critical	Y
