Table 6-8 show card Command Field Descriptions
Field Description
slot Displays the number of the slot that the card occupies.
admin type Displays the type of the interface card that the administrator specified with the
type
command. The first two letters of the entry indicate the general type of
the card:
• en for Ethernet
• ib for InfiniBand
• fc for Fibre Channel
The number of ports on the card follow the two-letter type identifier. The
remaining number and letter identify the speed of the ports on the card. The
admin type fc2port2G indicates a Fibre Channel card with two ports that run
at a maximum speed of 2 Gbps.
Note The controller and controllerIb12port4x cards serve as an exception to
these rules.
The “admin type” identifier “controller” indicates the type of independent
controller card found on both sides of the system chassis. The “admin type”
identifier “controllerIb12port4x” indicates a controller card that piggy-backs
onto a 12-port InfiniBand switch card, where each port connection can support
speeds up to 4X.
oper type Displays the type of the card as detected by the controller. If any conflict
occurs between “admin type” and “oper type”, the system assumes that the
type specified by oper type is correct and allows you to configure the card
based upon this assumption. If a type mismatch occurs, verify that you are
selecting the correct type for the card in the chassis.
admin status Displays the administrative status (that you configure with the
shutdown
and
no shutdown
commands) of the port.
oper status Displays the operational status as detected by the controller. Oper status
represents the absolute status of the interface card based upon self-detection.
The value of this read-only field appears as one of the following:
• unknown, which generally indicates that an error occurred when the card
booted
• up, which indicates that the card is operating normally
• down, which indicates that a user disabled the card with the
shutdown
command
• failure, which indicates that the card failed to boot correctly
The “up” indicator means that your card is operating normally. You can only
configure cards that have an operational status of “up.”
