IP logical port¶
Table with one row for each element of the type: 'IP logical port'.
Columns¶
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| IP Interfaces | The IP interfaces defined in the port (if more than one, they are typically called subinterfaces). In LAG members, the interfaces defined in the father LAG are shown |
| Utilization threshold for upgrade | A user-configurable utilization threshold for the capacity of the port, such that a warning is visualized if the IP forecasted traffic exceeds this value |
| Description | A user-defined text description (potentially long) that can be assigned to this element |
| NF. Dropped traffic (Gbps | In the non-failure state, the amount of dropped traffic in Gbps. Dropping is caused by QoS oversubscription of traffic of one or more classes, that is then dropped by the port scheduler, or just traffic exceeding the port capacity. |
| P2P: Opposite port | In P2P ports, the opposite port at the other end |
| Node | Associated node |
| Attributes | User-defined attributes associated to this element |
| SRGs | The Shared Risk Groups (SRGs) this element belongs to: the SRGs that mandate the shutdown (set in failure state) of this element |
| QoS priorities | The list of the QoS class types with their priority values (only for non LAG members) |
| IP in links | The incoming IP links, for any interface in this port. In LAG members, this refers to the the interfaces defined in the father LAG |
| Name | A user-defined name (typically short) that can be assigned to this element |
| LAG load balancing mode | The load balancing mode used when this port is part of a LAG. If one port in the LAG sets the balancing mode to be of the weighted type, all the traffic in the LAG is assumed to be split in that form |
| Worst utilization (SRGs) | The SGRs where the worst case utilization occurs, as calculated in the last risk analysis. |
| Worst utilization (%) | In the worst case among all the SRGs: the port utilization percentage as calculated in the last risk analysis. |
| Identifier | A unique identifier set to the element, and never changed |
| Utilization (out , %) | The port utilization (% of capacity used), considering the transmission side of the port |
| Worst dropped traffic (SRGs) | The SRGs where the worst case traffic dropping occurs, as calculated in the last risk analysis. |
| Allocation info | Information on where this port is allocated inside the hosting node |
| Traffic out (Gbps) | The traffic transmitted from the port in Gbps |
| LAG brothers | If the port is a LAG, shows the LAG members, not including itself |
| IP out links | The outgoing IP links, for any interface in this port. In LAG members, this refers to the the interfaces defined in the father LAG |
| Transport type | The type of transport connection associated with the port. |
| Estimated date for reaching utilization limit | The estimated date when the port utilization reaches the threshold for upgrade, based on the current traffic forecast |
| Dropped traffic (Gbps) | The amount of traffic in the transmission part of the port that is violating its QoS according to the link scheduling, and would be dropped. |
| External links | Indicates if this element has one or more user-defined external URLs associated to it. If so, when the user clicks this cell, and selects the URL (if more than one), a navigator is launched and the URL page is shown. External links are not editable in the GUI, but via API. |
| Tags | User-defined tags associated to this element |
| Transport (rx) | The transport connection (reception part) attached to this IP port |
| Traffic in (Gbps) | The traffic received by the port in Gbps |
| Transport (tx) | The transport connection (transmission part) attached to this IP port |
| Utilization (in , %) | The port utilization (% of capacity used), considering the transmission side of the port |
| NF. Utilization (%) | In the non-failure state, the port utilization percentage as calculated in the last risk analysis. |
| JSON | An optional JSON content describing this element |
| Worst dropped traffic (Gbps) | In the worst case among all the SRGs: the amount of dropped traffic in Gbps. Dropping is caused by QoS oversubscription of traffic of one or more classes, that is then dropped by the port scheduler, or just traffic exceeding the port capacity. |
| QoS max utilizations | The list of the QoS class types with their max link utilization values (only for non LAG members) |
| Nominal rate (Gbps) | The nominal rate in Gbps of the IP port |
| Installed | Indicates if the element is installed. If not installed, the element behaves as if it did not exist, being unable to e.g. handle traffic or reserve any bandwidth |
| In LAG | Indicates if the port is a member of a Link Aggregation Group (LAG). |
| Up | Indicates if the element is up (active) or down (failed) |
