    Summary output of the duplicate address test algorithm.

 o  frame strip mode

    Current frame stripping mode of the MAC.

    SA match   Source address match mode of the frame stripping
               algorithm matches the source address of the frame with
               the MAC's MyLongAddress (MLA), and if a match is found,
               the frame is removed from the token ring.

    FCI        The FCIS mode counts the number of frames transmitted
    strip      since the reception of a token, and strips equal number
               of frames.

    transmitted by it. This allows loopback testing either on the
    ring or with one of the PHY port loopback modes.

    Previous value of the downstream neighbor.

 o  old upstream neighbor

                   station transmitting in violation of the protocol.
                   This indicates to other links on the LAN that
                   corrective action may be required.

    ring purge     Link received a token while performing a ring
    error          purge operation.

    off            The Link's Ring Purger process is disabled.

    purger         The Link's Ring Purger process is performing the
                   function of removing no owner frames and duplicate

                   transmits periodic Purger Hello frames.

6.3  –  Identifier

 o  index

    An integer that uniquely identifies this physical port to the

6.4  –  Status

 o  broken reason

    Reason phy port is in broken state, or if in broken state, none.

 o  estimated link error rate

    Default: 15                Value: 0-15

    Reports the number of errors during the Link Monitor Test as a
    negative power of 10.  If there are no errors during the Link
    Monitor Test, then the Estimated Link Error Rate is 10(-15th power).

    An Estimated Link Error Rate of 15 indicates an excellent/clear
    link, 14-10 is a noisy link and around 7 would indicate an
    acceptable (failed) link.

 o  neighbor phy type

    Status may be A, B, S, M or unknown.

 o  reject reason

    Reason the phy port is in a failed or watch state. This is not

    standby        Physical port and its neighboring physical port
                   form a redundant physical connection (dual-
                   homing feature). In a dual-homed configuration,
                   the B to M connection is the higher priority
                   physical connection, and the A to M connection
                   is the standby physical connection. The standby
                   connection will become active if the B to M

                   ports that have not yet established a physical
                   connection are shut down to prevent the topology
                   from changing.
