| Description | Describes the type of port. One of the
following:
cascadeExternal - Port is an uplink with
physical connections which
are externally visible
cascadeInternal - Port is an uplink with
physical connections which
are not externally visible,
such as a connection to an
internal backplane in a
chassis
localExternal - Port is a downlink or local
port with externally
visible connections
localInternal - Port is a downlink or local
port with connections which
are not externally visible,
such as a connection to an
internal agent
'internal' is used to identify ports which place
traffic into the repeater, but do not have any
external connections. Note that both DTE and
cascaded repeater downlinks are considered
'local' ports. |
